Frequently Asked Questions
What is this?
We are a craft exchange! We'd like to match creative people who want to trade their skills - think about trading a knit sweater for a set of jewelry! Any craft is welcome :)
How do I participate?
Submit a post to our /submit page! (Or send an ask, whatever works)
What should my post look like?
Great question! Each post should have two main parts, an offering section and an ISO section. Your offering section should be a list of things you can trade - finished works, craft supplies, whatever goes! These are things you can use to trade. Your ISO (in search of) section should be a list of things you want. Please be clear so people who want to trade can find you easily!
Please also include a tag for a good blog to reach you at (the one you're submitting from works fine), as well as general areas you are located and comfortable shipping to. Feel free to indicate this by selecting the appropriate tag on the submit page, but please include it in the body of the submission as well so we don't have to ask you to clarify!
What happens next?
People can comment under each post if they can fulfill the other half of a potential trade - please tag the original poster just so they see your comment! From there, feel free to work out the exact details of a good trade. This part's up to you! Please feel free to let us know if a trade went well, we'll happily reblog showing off your work :) For examples of previous trades gone right, check out #trademail!
Other rules?
Please note that no payment of any form in exchange for crafts will be accepted or tolerated, this is meant to be a good old fashioned barter economy. Anyone found soliciting money for their work will be banned from the page. We also do not take responsibility for trades falling through - we will ban folks who don't play by the rules, but we cannot control anything beyond posting on here!
