“Craft Fairies” The Creative Art Swap Circle
The “Craft Fairies” Community
Here’s how our fairy post works:
💌 Once you’re a member of the Craft Fairy Directory, send snail mail magic — doodles, art scraps, stickers, poems, washi, tiny treasures or any crafty bits whenever the mood strikes — to anyone or everyone on the list! You can send a sprinkle of fairy dust or a bundle of magic — follow your joy, not a checklist. No formal swaps, no deadlines, no expectations — just pure, random acts of creative kindness.
🧚♂️ Then simply wait and you just might find a magical envelope in your mailbox in return — because fairy mail travels both ways (sometimes with glitter).
Before you fly into the fun, here are our core Craft Fairy values:
🌼 Kindness First – Respect all styles, souls, and sending capacities. What matters is the heart, not the size of the envelope. Send what feels good and within your means — there’s no “too much” or “too little” here.
🌼 No Trolls Allowed – Keep it gentle, inclusive, and uplifting. No hurtful, hateful, or spooky content. We’re here to lift each other up on fairy wings.
🌼 Gifting Only – This is not a marketplace, dearies — it’s a giving circle. No selling or trading for gold coins. Let’s keep it generous & joyful.
🌼 Say Who You Are! – Always sign your fairy mail so no one is left wondering who sent the fairy happy mail! If you want to remain anonymous you can always sign it “craft fairy”
🌼 Magical Manners – Ask permission before sharing someone’s art online, and guard address info like it’s moonlit treasure.
🌼 Free-Flow Fairy Time – No need to send often or at all if your wings need rest. Just being open to receiving is enough.
🌼 Fairy Themes Optional – It doesn’t have to be fairy-themed — just remember to keep it whimsical, magical, or simply creative and fun!
🌼 Share the Sparkle – If it brings you joy, share your happy mail treasures on Instagram, tag @hippie.craft.fairy and share the beauty that lands in your mailbox so we can encourage others to join the fun!
What can you send? Here are just a few ideas:
Handmade art or mini prints
Collage art of collage supplies
Post cards
Ephemera
Stickers, washi samples, stamps
Handwritten musings or poems, or a little note to say hello
Journal prompts or favorite quotes
Any little enchanted gifts that fit in an envelope
Let’s fill the world with craft fairy magic, one envelope at a time. I can’t wait to see you flutters through the mail!
With dandelion wishes & inky fingertips,
Teddy Ann,

“Craft Fairies”
The Creative Art Swap Circle
“Craft Fairies” is a whimsical, postal-powered art-sharing circle made up of kindred spirits who want to sprinkle a bit of joy through the post with our Patreon subscriber family. This is a cozy, no-pressure, “random acts of kindness” style, surprise-based art swap group — a whimsical space for sharing extra art supplies, little handmade goodies, or a dash of unexpected inspiration with fellow patreon subscribers — like a little fairy dust carried on the wind.
Here in our fairy ring, there are no deadlines, no commitments, no swap partners — just a secret list of fellow subscribers who’ve chosen to open their hearts (and mailboxes) to spontaneous creativity and kindness.
