How to Spread the Love With the Toy Society

Now. This is some good fun:

If you have a bit of time on your hands and some handmade softies that you can bear to give away, become a member of The Toy Society! It's like a secret society of crafty toymakers who "spread the love along the streets" around the world.

Check out Lola, the doll I "dropped" at thehandmadeproject.com

Contact the Toy Society for Details.

Check out The Toy Society to get all of the info you need. Once you receive your email, make a cool softie or doll to donate. I suggest using one of your best protoypes so as to not suffer from too much separation anxiety. Lola, here, is a prototype. I love her to pieces, but she's not the doll that I want to sell. Over time, I've generated a lot of almost-there dolls and am happy to find The Toy Society to lighten my load.

Make the Necessary Tag and Letter...

...and stuff your doll into a Ziploc bag. (This is the most morbid, but necessary step.)

Take Your Shades to Turn Yourself Into the Incognito Observer.

Because once you "drop" your toy, you'll want to hang around to see if you get any instant bites!

Find a Busy Spot in Your City and "Drop" Your Doll.

Wait for Innocent Bystanders...

...if you like, but please, please don't encourage them to pick up your doll. Remember The Toy Society is a secret society :D

Remember to take pictures and follow the steps of The Toy Society to see your sneaky work in action!
