Description:

This swap was suggested in the idea thread by @origamigrace Weave an ATC. Methods and madness are up to you. The only requirements are that it be a standard ATC size 2.5x3.5" (If you'd like to do a very 3-D weaving please check with your partner to see if they'd mind since many like to store their ATC's in binders) It can be mounted or not. If it is unmounted PLEASE be sure it is sturdy.

We all have "stuff" around that can be woven, fibers, papers, beaded strings, sticks, pine straw, wire, reeds, found objects, hair from grandmas brush (I am kidding, that'd be gross) or all of the above except g'mas hair...whatever your heart desires. Maybe fancify them? Embellish your weaving with embroidery, charms, beads, brads, inks, or anything else that will adhere without falling off. Also, to clarify, this is not for those paper weavings we did in 1st grade, our moms loved them but I doubt your partner will.

Make it beautiful...something that you hate to say goodbye to. Please ask if you have any questions!

OOh pretty! Do you need to make a little loom somehow?

To clarify - I did not do that piece pictured in the swap description, it's just some free clipart!
A loom would be great to use, and I am probably going to rig one up with pushpins, particle board and hemp thread or something like that - I think it would keep the frustration level down and make the process easier!

I keep mine in an ATC album sleeve (baseball card album) so I would like mine to be not-so-thick it won't fit. But if your idea can't be made flat enough, I still want it! I have a few others that don't fit...but if I could have my preference, it would.
