D.I.Y. Handmade Exchange!


I have an idea and a goal. I want to introduce the idea of a Do It Yourself Handmade Exchange. There is only one rule; make something, trade it with someone else for something they made.

That's it.

Now, I want to suggest some guidelines, but not rules.  I would recommend that you establish a price range. My pieces either cost around $10 or would retail for about that amount.  Your pieces should be about the same if you're going to trade with me, I'd prefer if everyone who participates keeps a $10 minimum just to keep it fair.  I will make you something of my choice (maybe give you some input options) if you promise to send or make me something too.  

All you have to do is leave a comment with a way to contact you and I will follow up to exchange shipping info. with you via email.  

If you are local to the Phoenix area I might meet up with you to do a real life exchange.

If you conduct a D.I.Y. Handmade Exchange party please link up photos and ideas. This is my new project and I will revisit the idea and project frequently.  If you make something, anything share it with the people you know and love.

Use this button if you'd like to share the idea or concept, link back here and tell me about your successes. You don't have to directly participate with me, here, to be a part of this concept.  My goal is to get the idea out about sharing handmade items or foods with your community.  If you want it, here's the HTML for the button:

Happy D.I.Y. Handmade Exchanging!
