Fabric Postcards - Creative "Material" Mail

A Fabric Postcard - Thank You, Birthdays, Just Because

Fabric postcards are a hot trend in the fiber art industry. Who wouldn't want to receive a fantastic fabric postcard in the mail. What a surprise they make for any occasion or just because!! I made some Christmas postcards and sent them to my friends and relatives instead of the ordinary Christmas cards. The postcards all arrived on time and perfectly through the mail. The United States Post Office requires a 39 cent stamp (first class) on the postcard. That's it.

Mailing postcards made of fabric are a way to show people you are thinking about them. They are so unusual that every postcard is a gift in itself. Wouldn't it be nice to purchase one of the postcards and send it to a woman that has been diagnosed with breast cancer? Buy a postcard for your daughter because you love her. Send a postcard to a friend that has been watering your plants. Keep a postcard on hand when you need a special thank you for someone.

Buy a postcard for $20 and 100% of the net profit goes to women diagnosed with breast cancer. Many fabric postcards online are selling for $30 - $50, but you can buy a postcard for only $20 and know your money is going to a good cause**. It's easy and safe through PayPal. The postcard will arrive quickly in a manila envelope in the mail . $200 has been given to the Gift-It-Forward project. We're just getting started so please help me help others. If someone has done something nice for you, don't give it back, Gift It Forward!!! The postcards are constantly changing so bookmark the site and come back often.

Each fabric postcard is white on the opposite side for ease of writing and measure 4" x 6". They are all one of a kind pieces and cannot be duplicated, so don't wait to buy your favorite one.

The postcards created by Bev Hlavka feature vintage as well as new fabric. The vintage fabric scraps are from my grandmother and mother as well as fabric I had as a girl. No piece of fabric is too small to keep. They are all precious and you'd be surprised how often a tiny piece is perfect for a project. Each postcard has altered fabric techniques through weaving, stitching, collage, quilting, dying, and more.
