MLPTP EVENT MLPTP's 2022 Halloween Swap!

[Skybreeze]

Lush has cute cloth wraps.
For paper wrapping, i found some variety packs on amazon.

I have some leftover recycled paper from last year but I wasn’t overly happy with the quality of the paper sadly. I’m just spoiled with good quality paper and want that for Halloween too I guess. Lol

Dollar Tree has plain purple, orange, and i think green paper

I used it for my friends halloween birthday themed party

We don’t have Dollar Tree and my stores don’t have any plain paper in stock.

Had the same problem. I ended up getting some fat quarters of Halloween fabric at Joann's and making little bundles. I figure we are all so crafty that if I didn't cut the fabric, and made nice long bows with the ribbon, my swap partner could probably find a use for them. Lol!

This is my backup plan but I am hoping I will get lucky. I feel like a lot of us ended up going fabric route for swaps last year too. But again, we don’t have Joann’s here but I’m sure I can visit other fabric suppliers. Admittedly it will end up being an expensive trip because I can’t say “no” to cute fabric prints. I shamefully hoard beautiful fabrics and it’s getting to be a bit much because I never want to cut into my pretties. Lol

Agree. I have way more fabric than I can use. I have sewing projects in mind, and so when I see the fabric I think would be right for it I buy it....and then never actually make the project.

Well friends, this girl is once again stuck searching high and low for cute Halloween themed wrapping paper. My need for perfection is obnoxious sometimes.

That's why at Christmas I only buy black and white paper. It works for both of not all year round. Then I just assemble it up with bows and stickers. I have seen some on Amazon but it's pricey. If I know you though you will find something and be the best wrapped. It's yo' thing.

Someone who understands. Lol It’s so hard to cut into pretty pretty fabrics sometimes.

You may know me all too well.

You might be able to get those little treat bags for smaller things I’ve seen some covers in candy corn and black cats at Walmart

[Daintress]

All the pieces are here, now for the scary part: crafting!

 

[darklys]

I got a notification today that one of my items is "stopped" at customs. Not sure why.
I am gonna get a replacement item I guess. I have no idea how long it will be stopped. Or why it is stopped. Or anything else.

 

[BethMcBeth]

Got another item in today! Starting to look at wrapping options!

 

[Tak]

I’m trying sooo hard to ignore this thread! It sounds like you’re all having a great time this year!
… I shall live vicariously through you.

If you need some time because of this please just let me know.

I am happy to see that things are moving along well. If anyone has any questions or unsure if a pony is in “good” swap condition please send me a message ASAP. I’m so excited to start to see teasers starting to pop up soon.

I think my partner will still be pleased. I've met the required amount. It's just an extra that may or may not come in time. I don't know why it is stuck.

Can you explain the teasers to me? What's that all about?

For the teasers, once you have everything all wrapped up you take a picture basically just to get everyone all excited it doesn’t show what any of the things inside are but it’s fun Plus we all get to enjoy the cute/spooky way that everyone decides to wrap
*oops! Sassy beat me too it

As @Sassarazzmadazzles and @AzaleaArt already mentioned it’s just to tease everyone and keep the mystery of who has who.

Here’s an example of my teaser photo from last year:
