Description:

I love inchies and I wanted to create a swap for inchie lovers that would have a really different theme each time, and that would be easy to complete and light on postage. This will be a part of an ongoing series of inchie swaps...

For this swap, you will make 4 inchies for one partner, but you must use something that is metal on each inchie---eyelets, brads, metal stick-ons, buttons, beads, charms, soda can punches, etc. As long as its actually made of metal, you can use it---you can even make your inchies out of metal if you wanted (just as long as you file the edges). You can use any other media that you like, but please send your best work--you may use stickers, but please use them artistically, and keep with the theme. I am now requiring a 5.0 rating to be able to join this swap; please explain recent 3's before joining and no recent 1's. I do check profiles!

Upcoming themes I'm thinking about are: elements, shapes, embellishments, one word, etc...

F.Y.I. An inchie is a miniature work of art. An inchie measures exactly one inch square and is made of a sturdy paper backing, or it can be made of fabric. Inchies are decorated with a variety of media, including paint, paper, drawing, collage, mixed media, rubber stamps, sewing, etc. If you think that inchies are too small to make creatively, you are wrong! There are many itty bitty things on the market that are perfect for making inchies: scrapbooking paper with small prints, thin ribbon, tiny brads, little rubber stamps, stick-on rhinestones, etc.They are totally addicting once you start!

P.S...This swap is an Type 3 because there is a craft element...

Oh cool. This is not what I was expecting when I read the description! In fact, I like this idea better than mine! lol

Glad you like the idea---I saw a book at JoAnn, and it had how to make jewelry out of soda cans and craft punches, and I thought, 'Hey, that's really cool!' Plus, I have lots of brads, eyelets, and stuff that I love to use on inchies anyway.....
