Share beautiful colouring pages and super easy mail art

The popularity of adult colouring-in books seems to have exploded over the past six months. Colouring books with the most beautiful intricate images are now available everywhere-and I thought wouldn’t it be lovely to share the pages in an easy mail art swap.

In this simple swap you will be making a homemade envelope from a page you coloured AND choosing three blank colouring pages to send to your partner.

Requirements:

1. You will have one partner in this swap.

2. You will need to collect a total of 4 adult colouring pages. Pages can be found online and printed OR trimmed neatly from your own book OR neatly photocopied.

3. Colour only 1 page. You can use your choice of medium here-pencil, crayon, sharpie, watercolour, even a little glitter if you like. Just make sure you take care and work neatly.

4. Use the page you have coloured to make a simple handmade envelope.

5. Enclose the other three pages inside the handmade envelope with a short note.

6. Send on time.

7. Rate your partner.

The finer details:

• Don't forget to include the swap name and your user name.

• The note need only be short-a few lines of greeting, and can be on note paper or a note card-it is your choice.

• This swap is senders choice-but it would be nice to check your partner’s profile for likes and dislikes-you may be able to find pages that they will adore and there may be special colours they particularly like/dislike.

• No children’s pages. This means no cartoons, no Disney etc. The pages should be sophisticated and intricate. Pages should be approximately A4 or equivalent (give or take an inch or so).

• Please clip the pages neatly, and fold carefully.

• Not sure how to make an envelope this link may help.

• Please rate your partners ASAP and include a comment with some feedback.

If you receive a handmade envelope (made out of a colouring page) and 3 un-coloured pages you must rate a 5-of course hearts are up to you.

Allow a reasonable amount of time for international postage-but communicate with me (the host) or your partner if there are any problems.

Happy swapping everyone :)
