Description:

Are you eagerly anticipating the arrival of Halloween as much as I am? I keep popping into shops looking for the arrival of Halloween decorations, costumes, and let's face it, Halloween candy! I think it would be great fun to make and swap Halloween countdown calendars! We will make these calendars out of tags. You will be making 31 tags, one for each day of the countdown 1 - 30 and then a special one for Halloween day. You can make your own tags, or use premade ones, or a mix of both. Then they will be bound together using a binder ring or a loop of ribbon or cording. Allow enough space that the tags can be flipped through for each day and can be easily hung. The minimum size of the tags should be no smaller than 2 1/2" x 5". That is a standard medium tag size. You can also make your calendar non-tag shaped if you'd like, but it should fall under these dimensions. Now, to decorate them. Since there are 31 tags to decorate, you do not have to decorate the backs, but feel free to do so if you'd like. You can use almost anything to decorate the tags - Rubber stamps, cutouts, washi tape, stickers. However, please keep your sticker use to a minimum. Each front of the tag should be numbered 1 to 30. The 31st tag is for Halloween day and does not have to have a number but should say Halloween on it somewhere. You can have each tag say __ days until Halloween, but if you just want to do a number, that is fine too. I am going to make this sender's choice because then you can get started right away. That being said, I recommend that you stay away from anything too gorey or violent. Since this is a larger project, I am going to require a higher amount of requirements. You must not have any current or unexplained older 1 ratings at the cutoff date. You must also have participated in at least 20 type 3 swaps by the cutoff date. Your rating must be 4.9 unless you can give a good reason why it is not. I am given swappers 3 weeks to complete the project (more if you start now) and just over a week to ship, so that it arrives to your partner before October 1. So please, do not make your partner miss out on the fun and send late. Also, I am sorry, but I am not able to Angel this swap. If anyone else is willing to, I would be very grateful, although I hope it will not be needed. > I will be carefully screening all swappers before partners assigned and I have the right to remove anyone I feel is not eligible. Any questions or suggestions? Please feel free to message me, or list them below.
