Description:

I'm sure we've all seen the "Hello, My name is" badges on someone at one point or another. You might've even worn one yourself. For the most part, people usually just write their name in that small white box, but.. that's boring!

So.. for this swap, you will decorate 1 "Hello, My name is" sticker badge for 3 people. Each of your partners will get (at least) 1 sticker each. But if you're feeling productive, you are more than welcome to make more for them. =)

You'll decorate these by using the tiny space given on these to personify your badge more than just writing a name. (to further clarify: you are decorating these with you in mind. you're introducing yourself to your partner using these newly decorated badges.)

+++ Example: If you like turtles, you could draw some turtles on it. Do you just like to doodle? Doodle on it. Like graffiti art? Tag on it! (or) Spray on it! .. Etc.. etc.. +++

  • It's fine if the art sneaks out of the white box, as long as it doesn't cover the entire badge and the "hello.." part is still visible.

  • Add your swap-bot username somewhere on the back of the sticker.

  • No embellishments please.

  • Printing a design onto the sticker is okay but it must have some additional hand-drawn element to it.

"Where can I find these stickers?": You can find them at office supply stores and even Dollar General. If you don't have a store nearby that sells them, you can use this site to print some out on Avery sticker paper. ← If you choose to use the sticker machine, you can get rid of the delarge label by deleting it from the box on the left side.

============================================

Must have:

  • at least a 4.9 with no 1's, 3's or no-sends in the last 3 months

  • participated in -at least- 3 rated mail swaps (e-swaps, postcards and letters will not be counted)

  • a well filled out profile.

============================================

Final Notes:

  • Please remember to rate your partner when you receive your package. I'll be checking up on this and any non-raters will be banned from future swaps of mine. Flakers will also get the same treatment.

  • And if you will not be able to send your package by the send date, PLEASE let your partner know. Communication is a must!

  • This is international because sending one of these shouldn't weigh too much.

Wow. Cool swap. Last week I went to an art degree show in London and a guy had made a life size cardboard man and had a stack of these for people to fill out and stick on the man. They said things like "Hello, I blame my parents for..."

(Thanks!)

Sounds like it was a great show! So they crossed out the "my name is" part to add that? That's a neat idea.

@ZippedShut

If this one goes well, I might host another round of it sometime after I mail out my current swaps (if you'd still like to join?)

Hi everyone! I got a question from someone which makes me wonder if my guidelines were confusing? If anyone is confused about the idea of this swap, please read the following:

"As for the swap, the main idea of it was to decorate the white space given with some kind of artwork that personifies as you. You could use regular mediums like pens, markers, paint, pencils or you could print something out onto it and decorate that as well.

I was asked by someone else if they could have some added text to it, that's also fine as long as the "hello my name is" part is still visible.

Also, don't forget to add your swap-bot username on the back of the sticker (the plastic backing part.)"

.

I hope that answers any questions anyone might have about that. And of course, if there are other questions, feel free to send me a pm! =D
