The photo above is just a protype.

This is more of a chlid-y craft. Theres no perfection/skill involved. PLease join. EZ, peazy, breezy. The worst outcome is welcomed. HOw often do you hear that? lol

BAck story: Some gal just did a swap called "PACKAGE TAPE" postcard which I missed the join date. But she laid out tape and added her embellies and then another layer of tape & voila a postcard.

This is a spinoff from that from soapboxgirl.

The swap:

  1. Find a 4x6 piece of acetate/plastic. Ya know, basically flat packaging.

Decorate:

Decorate the front & back of the plastic. You want something on both sides. NOT ALOT. DONT FILL IT UP. The fun part about this simple project is to be able.................

.......to see thru the postcard.

If you use glue/stickers, etc on one side you may want to place something on the otherside in the same spot so not to have a ugly "spot".

Glitter, lol

Dont forget the pretty contained glitter. lol You can sprinkle some on the tape before adhering. NOt too much or it wont adhere. Optional., lol

When done carefully add clear packaging tape over the front and back.

The address/stamp:

You can put the address on the acetate under the tape or on top but if you place it on top of the tape you get a little extra room under the tape to decorate.

Place the stamp on top of the tape.

Mailing:

Theres no reason why it wouldnt mail just fine. If youre crazy enough, lol, to take it to the postal clerk they may say no cuz they dont know that it can be mailed naked. Some clerks may want to charge extra, maybe 70cents, but its totally mailable.

Finally, mail it naked. Sprinkle with love!

Fun!! I’ll have to make it before signing up, though. (And I have that same delightful calendar - makes me “happy-heart-smile” every time I look at it).

So personally, I do not like glitter and do not buy it because it hurts the oceans. The only glitter I have is the one I use for my soaps which is bio degradable, but is expensive, and do not want to use it on paper .... do we have to use glitter?

Also, do you have more pictures? Is so hard to look at thatone, just want to make sure I follow the instructions...
