Pin Doll Swap
What is a pin doll? A pin doll is small figure (up to 5") that can be worn as a pin.
What is a pin doll swap? A pin doll swap is an opportunity to swap pin dolls that you have created with other pin doll creators. This is an activity that anyone can join just for fun. All skill levels will be welcome from beginner to the more experienced doll artist. It is so much fun to see the pin dolls that everyone has created and to be able to take home a memento of the conference.
Pin Doll Swap Rules
- The swap is open to all attendees regardless of skill level. Beginners welcome!
- You may swap from 1 to 5 dolls.
- Each doll may be the same or unique. Using the conference theme as inspiration is encouraged but not required.
- Each doll should be individually wrapped or placed in a gift bag so that it cannot be seen prior to the swap.
- Each doll should have an attached card with the maker's name and email address and the designer's name, if applicable (e.g. "Mermaid by Jane Walker, designer Nancy Smith").
- Place all of your dolls in a large ziplock bag with a card with the maker's name and the number of dolls to swap.
- Turn your bag of pin dolls in at the check-in table during the opening reception.
- Pin dolls will be randomly swapped, with each participant receiving the number of dolls they made.
- Participants will meet to open their swaps after the Banquet Saturday night.
