Details of Swap
OTT (One Tiny Thing) swaps are based on the idea that you’ll be crafting, literally, one tiny item. Tiny refers to the actual size of the item but even though it’s small, it should be an item that is crafted with a high level of skill. If it’s a simple/easy item for you to craft, try to embellish or perfect it to best represent your skills.
In this swap, participants will have one partner. Each partner will make and send out one tiny thing (see below for ideas on what constitutes as a tiny item) based on your five themes. For example, if one of your themes is orange, your partner could make fancy orange earrings or a tiny orange ornament. The tiny thing should fit within four square inches. If you need a couple inches wiggle room, that is okay. Because of the short crafting time (2 weeks), this is a NO-EXTRAs swap. You can only send the item you craft and NOTHING else. This swap is intended to be low-stress.
After you have been approved , you are welcome to post your five themes in this thread. If you see someone’s theme list and would like to craft for them, please feel free to PM me and let me know. I cannot guarantee that you will be partnered with that person BUT I will absolutely take it into consideration during the pairing up.
To be inclusive, other October holidays can be included: Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead (let me know if I missed one)! Your five themes can be related to any of these.
Communication is important and helps the swap to run smoothly (and helps to keep your organizer organized ) .
It is your responsibility to:
-PM all of your partners and the organizer as soon as you have sent
-PM all of your partners and the organizer as soon as you have received
-post in this thread at least once
-take a photo of your item before you send (so you can post in the gallery if your partner can’t)
Is your item tiny?
pair of earrings = tiny
jewelry set = Not tiny
artist trading card = tiny
8x10 drawing = Not tiny
small change purse = tiny
clutch purse = Not tiny
Bottom line: 4"x4" dimensions
If the item “naturally” comes in a pair or a set (ie: earrings or stitch markers), that is okay.
If you aren’t sure if your idea is considered “tiny”, please ask!
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, REMEMBER TO SEND YOUR INFO TO ORGANIZER VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE titled “OTT- QUESTIONNAIRE- {Username}” AND NOT TO REPLY WITH IT HERE.
Wait until you are approved to post your themes, please!
