This swap will be like the swap box but only eyelets, brads, and snaps. Deadline to sign up is Oct. 7th You will each send in 20-30 eyelets to start the box due to me by Oct. 14th. I will set up the box, set up the list to send and have it shipped to the first person by Oct. 16th. The box should have between 100-200 eyelets to swap, so lots of choices. Thank you for everyone's input for making this a great idea.
Each person who signs up will send in 20-30 eyelets, I will put them together and make a list of all of the people who it will go to, at random.
The box will travel to each person on the list and you are free to take as many eyelets out as long as you replace them with a comparable amount of other eyelets.
This will give each person to increase there variety of eyelets while reducing their quantity of other eyelets. Each person receiving the box will be free to take as many as he/she wants/ thinks they can use.
By receiving eyelets from each of you on the list there should be a large variety to choose from in the beginning. Fill free to mix the initial
20-30, they do not all have to be alike, but they can be if you choose. When the person receives the box and makes a selection try to keep the variety comparable to what is taken out. For example if you take 6 each of 4 different eyelets, you would put in as close as you can of 6 each of 4 different kinds, if you take 20 of one kind you would put back in 20 of one kind, or as close as you could for example 10 of two kinds would be okay. But if you took a variety of 4 each of 10 different kinds you wouldn't put 40 of one kind back in, this is to ensure a varied selection for the next person on the list.When the box makes it around the list we will make a new list and keep it moving.
You may also include brads and snaps along with it.
