How It Works
This is an ongoing swap, meaning once you’re approved, you can claim from the person who has last claimed.
When you make a claim, you are committing to send, within 1 week of claiming:
- A handmade origami piece made by you. Complexity can vary and your partner may need to inflate or finish shaping the piece but should not have to assemble it in any other way.
- A handwritten note customized for the recipient - length and contents can vary. It can even be a little “about me” note.
To keep things fun for everyone, try to vary the origami designs, the paper used, or the way you may wish to decorate your origami piece.
Requirements to Join
- You are at least 16 years old.
- You have been a LC member for at least 1 month.
