Non-paper/non-cardboard ATC

Crafty Shenanigans Craft Swaps
1

There’s been several new swap ideas posted lately. So fun to see the creativity!

Here’s another one - an ATC made without using paper or cardboard

For example I made this ATC for another site

And in return I got an amazing wood burned ATC

It could be made of wood, bark, plastic canvas, embroidery, metal, leather, clay, fabric, plastic, etc.

No paper, cardstock or cardboard. I would say in this case flatness doesnt matter and it wouldn’t have to fit in a sleeve but still need to be 2.5’x3.5’
Anyone interested?

Interested. I think this could be a good portable craft for me. :thinking:

I’ve done this with metal and clay so I’d be up for it. I always love challenges that force me to think outside the box.

What a cool swap! If it goes into future rounds, it’s one I’d be interested in.

I have some major deadlines coming up at work so I probably wouldn’t start signups until the end of the month.

Depending on what life throws at me, im going on vacation next month, but this sounds like fun. Oh! I already have an idea!

wow! very cool (both yours & the one you rec’d)
I might be interested, but would need some coaching and/or ideas, since I’m still pretty new to making ATCs in general, much less on a different base!
hmmm, now that you mention embroidery or fabric, the wheels are turning a bit…
and now I’m wondering if it might work to use an old gift card, like @Abbeeroad did awhile back to make a magnet, I think it was?

Same. As someone who largely works in paper/cardboard, my initial reaction was sort of bewilderment. But I’ve had some ideas…

I did some googling and found more examples

Oooh, the felt ones look like something I could do

If you do this, I have a kind of weird idea that might work. It would be fun to try!

I’ll start sign ups sometime after the 19th but before the end of the month. I just got to get through the next week at work and hopefully things will ease up.
