ATC-Size Deco Booklet #331158

Many of us make ATCs. Let's make an extension of the ATC format--a collaborative booklet.

• Handmade booklet.
• New or established deco.
• International if you have no postal issues and can reasonably expect mail between countries to be approximately 4-6 weeks.

Example of and ATC-size booklet:

by wyrdfae

New decos: * The finished booklet should be 2.5" x 3.5" * Fold 2 pages and bind them to the cover * Pamphlet stitch style. It can be as simple as 2 holes in the spine with ribbon/twine/string passed through the holes to hold the paper to the cover. * Stapling instead of stitching along the spine is OK. * 2 folded pages make 4 pages, which makes 8 pages for contributors to decorate.

This size should keep the deco slim so regular lettermail postage can be used by everyone, and it has a better chance of getting completed and mailed back to you (or your "for" recipient) in about a year or less.

On the inside cover of your booklet include "for" and "by" snail mail and email information. (Some people like to make a booklet for someone).

NOTE: Once you have received your deco booklet, decorate a page, then pass it on.

You can check my list of swaps to see if I've got another deco swap happening, or pass them along to someone else, or start your own deco swap.

If you are new, less than 6 months, and fewer than 10 finished and rated swaps PM me, I can set up a private swap. It counts towards your ratings. After one successly completed private swap you can join my upcoming swaps.

A request regarding rating comments. As a host, I like to read all of the rating comments, and I live vicariously through those comments. I would love to know whose deco you received (the by: info--who created the deco) and what the theme is. If you could mention those to things in the comment that would make me very happy. 🤗
