See all- International Postcard Week Swap!Needs location
Ah, the lovely postcard! This week International Postcard Week, and in honor of this tiny but mighty form of communication, we are making and swapping homemade postcards!
How do you make a homemade postcard? Make it out of anything that is sturdy enough to make it through the mail - cardboard, a cereal box, an index card, etc. (Make sure you put enough postage on it if it is odd or large shaped.) You can also use an already existing postcard that is u-g-l-y and you deem unworthy to send as is to create your own homemade postcard. Now decorate to your heart's content! Color, draw, paint, collage, write, type, washi, sticker the heck outta that baby! Be creative, have fun, and in return you will be rewarded with mail!
So how does this swap work? You RSVP, send me your address, and then on the date of this meetup I will send you the name and address of the person you will be sending your DIY masterpiece postcard to! That's it! You will then send your custom one-of-a-kind postcard out by October 31, 2024.
Note: We've been experiencing some USPS woes lately (i.e. late or non-arriving swaps). I hope 2024 is the year USPS finds its way back to reliable mail service. Until then, I guess this note serves as both an FYI and a disclaimer.
