ATC-Size Collaborative Deco Booklet

I got a cute ATC-size collaborative booklet recently and thought that this size would make a good deco swap theme. Many of us also like making ATCs.

The finished booklet should be 2.5" x 3.5" and fit into a trading card sleeve, at least initially--when full it is not expected to fit into a commercial plastic sleeve but should be 1/4" thick or less.

Make a new deco or use an ATC-size established deco if you have one.

Example:

New deco:

Fold 2 pages and bind them to the cover--pamphlet stitch style. It can be as simple as 2 holes in the spine with ribbon/twine/string passed through the holes to hold the paper to the cover. Stapling instead of stitching along the spine is OK. 2 folded pages make 4 pages, which makes 8 pages for contributors to fill.

This size should keep the deco slim so regular lettermail postage can be used by everyone, and it has a better chance of getting completed and mailed back to you (or your "for" recipient) in about a year or less.

On the inside cover of your booklet include "for" and "by" snail mail and email information.
