What is a deco?

A deco is similar to a friendship book and there are a wide variety of types. It is a bound book of pages which are sent around the world. The person that the book is “for” is usually listed on the cover and when the book becomes full it is sent back to them. Each person that receives and signs the deco will decorate one page according to the theme of the booklet (if there is one) and put their postal/email address and sign their name. Typically, each entrant in the “deco” must use one full page to express themselves. Glitter, sequins, feathers and other scrapbooking supplies are frequently used in “decos.” Despite the artistic expressions used in these types of friendship books, the basic rules of passing the friendship book to person to person is the same.

This is USA only. I am sorry, Canadians.

I have never done a deco swap before... so, I have a recycled notebook and want to make it a theme. Do I write a prompt on each page or is that only for Slams?

I have been looking these up on Flickr & Google, but can't find any really great examples.

Last Question, promise! How long does it typically take for a deco to get back to you? I am in no rush, but just curious! :)

THX!

@erica265 sorry I didn't see your question earlier. You decorate the front cover and leave the rest blank. Each person takes one page and covers it with their decor. I can take many years to come back to you. I've seen decos as old as 7 years.

After we send to our first partner, who do we send it to next?
