Description:

Let's make 2 blank daybooks, 1 for each partner! A daybook is similar to a smashbook, with all different pages and patterns. Minimum size will be 6x6 inches. Use scrapbook paper (double sided would be AWESOME so your partner doesn't have blank sides in their book). Embellishments are ok but it doesn't need to be elaborate, these are meant for your partners to fill. The books must be at least 15 pages (30 sides) and have 2 pockets or envelopes built in somewhere. I find sewing is the easiest way to bind them but you can use a spiral binder or even staple them if you can do it nicely. Get creative and daring! There is so much inspiration on youtube and google. Just search "handmade daybook" for ideas!

NOTE: Somebody asked a tricky question so I thought I should mention it here. If you are going to fold your pages (to sew or staple) you need at least 8 sheets of paper. When folded they make 16 pages (32 sides). With a spiral binder you need at least 15 sheets of paper, each sheet has 2 sides (30 sides total). Hope that's clear!

~These books don't necessarily have to be profile based but at least check their profiles for any dislikes!

~Must have minimum of 20 type 3 swaps. I will remove questionable swappers.

~USA only due to postage costs.

~When you mail them PLEASE tape/reinforce your envelopes super good!

~I will angel if necessary.

Can we glue the paper together, it's hard to find double sided paper here in Somerset, I love making these.

Yes @purple Gluing will be ok. Double sided tape would be good too since that won't warp or bend the papers like glue can do when it dries. PS Im almost positive you were my partner for a daybook swap in the past :)

Yes I will use double sided tape, yes, I think so too, in the private swap group. Used glue back then but double sided tape does work better.,
