International. 2 "add-and-pass" booklets for 1 partner.

If you've been doing quality ATCs or inchies/twinchies for a while, than this may be a fun collaborative-style project for you.

Fold an index card in half to make a little 2.5" X 3" book.

Choose whatever theme you would like, sender's choice (or make it an open theme).

The front and back covers (and inside front and back covers if you choose) are yours to decorate and add info like your username, email, swap name, return mailing address.

Include between 4 and 8 pages available to decorate (1-2 folded pages that are bound in the middle).

Bind the spine of the book with string/twine/ribbon, machine stitch, or you can staple the spine magazine-style.

Example of a simple 3-hole string bound book signature:

Spoiler. As an example, here's one of the mini decos I will be sending:

NOTE: Once you have received your deco booklets, decorate a page in each of the decos, then you can mail them to me (PM me to let me know), or check my list of swaps to see if I've got another deco swap happening, or pass them along to someone else, or maybe start your own deco swap.

You don't have to use an index card. You can use cardstock that you cut to 5" x 3", then fold it to make a 2.5" x 3" mini book.

If you want to you can pass my ICM deco books among family and friends, then send the booklet back to me when full. They don't need to be passed through online deco swapping groups. It would be interesting to see creative work done by a variety of people including those who don't normally participate in swaps.
