Swap event: Papers and stickers

It’s time to have a swap event at the Salo Craft Center again! This time papers, notebooks, stickers, and glossy prints are up for grabs – all the little treasures waiting for a new enthusiastic owner.

Do you have unused notebooks, extra stickers, old glossy prints, or blank papers that you haven’t found a use for in your closets? Bring them to the swap and pick up something new, beautiful, and inspiring in return! You may find new materials for crafting and notebooks for notes.

The event works on a “bring what you have, take what you need” basis:

you can bring up to 5 paper supplies and take the same amount.

Join us to get inspired, share, and discover something new!
