Description:

from Wikipedia: Decoupage (or découpage) is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf, etc. Commonly an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cutouts from magazines or from purpose-manufactured papers. Here is an introduction video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-VUQS__6Pw

................................... So in this swap you will send your partner at least five different paper napkins. Napkins should be pretty and contain patterns, paintings...it can be anything, like: flowers, animals, food, drinks, teddybears....Please send napkins in time and check your partner´s profile to see what she likes :) AND please pay attention to that napkins are not folded in the envelope; folded napkins tend to have ugly marks :(!

I wonder if you could please explain more about them not being folded in the envelope, please? The ones I buy are already folded in 4 when I get them in the packet, so I usually send them out with the same folds, to avoid putting any extra creases across the design.

Did you mean they have to be mailed opened out completely with a card stiffener...or is it ok to fold them in the way they were folded when purchased?

Hi :) Sorry, I didn´t explain very well. I meant that please don´t fold the napkin to adjust little envelope, but get a bigger envelope where you can put them without folding. The napkins´ "natural" shape, (fourd foldes) it´s fine, because they are all like that and designed that way :)

I am new here, signed in today. Can I join? And the date, August 7, is the last day to send the napkins, or do you have to send that date?

Hi SwedishMum :) you are very welcome to join this swap! August 7 is the last day to send the napkins, you can send the napkins as soon the signup date is over (26th of July) and then you will get the adresses where to send napkins :) Everyone has two partners.
