Customized Shopping Bags Tutorial October 29 2016

Shopping Bags: A Great Way to Brand Initially, I had planned to use brown, kraft paper bags as part of my packaging. However, I came across a sale on clear plastic shopping bags and my original plan went out the window. Not only was the price better, but the clear bags would actually help to serve as extra marketing being that shoppers would be able to see inside the bag. Also,...

Product Wrap Tutorial September 06 2016

DIY Product Wraps After researching branding options, I decided that product wraps would work best for my sunglass cases. However, having custom printed wraps can be quite expensive so, I decided to make my own. The only thing I had custom printed were my labels. Here’s my process. What you’ll need: - Custom printed labels                                     - Graphics Program - Cardstock                                                        - Printer - Paper cutter, paper scorer & scissors           ...

Here’s how: What you’ll need: * Trays * Measuring Tape * Chalk * Painter’s Tape * Drill & Drill Bits * Wire Baskets * Twist ties * Level (optional) * Easels First, I figured out the...

Custom Display Trays August 02 2016

After contemplating the look of my booth design, I decided on having two rows of risers and a four standing display shelves.  I want to display my cases inside of trays instead of directly on the risers.  Fortunately, I had purchased a few metal trays (on clearance, woohoo!) from a big box store and a few plastic paper sorters from my local $1.00 store. Although, the trays are the perfect size...

Craft Show Research April 21 2016

Craft Show Research Lately, I’ve been doing a ton of research on Craft Markets. I mean hours of serious cyber stalking of markets, vendor comments, blogs, Yelp reviews and YouTube clips. My main objective in doing this much research was to answer 3 questions: 1) How much will it cost to attend? 2) Is it cost effective? 3) How much inventory should I bring? The first answer regarding cost was...

Care & Content Label Tutorial March 04 2016

Because I use various exterior and interior fabrics to make my accessories, I print care & content labels instead of purchasing them. This way, I can print as many (or a little) as needed and not end up stuck with a lot of unusable inventory.   Here’s my process: What you’ll need: -T-shirt transfer paper                                                   - Scissors -Inkjet printer                                                                   - Iron -Photo/graphic editing software                                    - Pressing cloth and Clapper -¾” Polyester Twill...
