ISS: Handmade Bookmark & Tea

It's fall here, and the perfect weather for cozying up with a cup of tea and a good book.

For this swap, we will create one handmade bookmark. If you feel the slightest bit scared by this, don't be! You do not need to be super artistic. All this takes is a bit of thought and effort to create something book-worthy for your partner.

Start with a sturdy cardstock/light cardboard base and dress it up with inks, paints, rubber stamping, washi, collage, etc. Use your imagination and re-purpose something for your base (paint chip strip, clean food box, used postcard or note card, etc.).

I am leaving the bookmark size up to you, but as an example, about 6" X 1.5" works nicely.

You will also include 2 factory sealed tea bags for your partner to enjoy.

This swap is sender's choice,, but it's always nice to look at your partner's profile and see if there's something that would make it even more special.

Happy creating!
