💌 Paper Secrets Society: Puzzle Purse Edition

Swap Description

1 Partner Swap - International ok as this should be fairly easy to fit in a flat envie once its all folded up.

The Victorian Puzzle Purse is a beautiful, interactive paper fold that opens up with a twist—literally! In this swap, you'll create one handmade puzzle purse with decorative elements, writing, or art in the segments. What you include inside is entirely up to you: collage, illustration, mini poems, secret messages, fortunes, or something else entirely.

Your puzzle should start with a minimum size of 8 x 8 inch square but could be larger if you choose, just not smaller in it's unfolded form.

This is a SEMI profile-based swap, so feel free to get quirky, abstract, or heartfelt! You should check to make sure you are not sending something your partner would find offensive (if they don’t have a don’ts section on their profile, then everything is fair game), it does not have to be themed to match their profile. Everyone has different talents.

Here are some places for instructions:

✨ Need a spark of inspiration? Try one of these themes:

🧙‍♀️ Minor Magic Spells – fill your purse with tiny, mostly useless spells like "Summon Socks" or "Charm of Mild Convenience"

🧠 Thought Spiral – reflect your overthinking mind with funny fears, strange musings, or imaginary crises

🛸 Messages from Other Dimensions – cosmic postcards, alien notes, or advice from a parallel universe

Let the folding, decorating, and imaginative unraveling begin!
