Sure it worked great on my craft show display, but if they were going to be
sold in a shop they need to be able to stand alone and, of coarse, be linked to me with my url. Paper punch and brown paper to the rescue! Check out what I came up with:
I figured the doily punch I have is a little too fancy and detailed for the simplicity of my illustrations and I wanted a bit more pizazz than just rounded corners. Luckily it just so happens that I picked up a perfect corner and border punch set back in May in Oregon! Hooray! Then I just had to work out a little computer spacing and throw my website on the back:
Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Take a look at a few of the necklaces on their cards:
I think it does the packaging job well and am quite pleased with how they turned out! What do you think? Do you ever dabble in packaging?
Stunning! And no, no packaging for me. I'm only a fan.
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteThey look super cute in real life and online!
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a way to display, and keep my necklaces from getting tangled, in transit as well as on display. I guess using some sort of card is the best way. These are great! I don't have any computer or machine help, so I have been looking at buying some. But maybe I could try to make them myself? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Michelle! Packaging is always a tricky thing to figure out but once you find something that works its very satisfying! Good luck!
DeleteI too, have been looking for a way to secure the chain of my necklaces so they wouldn't come around and scratch the pendant in transit. I was worried that tape would look tacky, but yours look fine. What type of tape are you using? I thought about a little plastic bag on the back for the chain, but wasn't sure how to secure it... Your cards are really cute and suit your pendants perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI just use regular semi opaque scotch tape. It doesn't leave residue like some of the shiny clear stuff does. If you put baggies on the back to hold the chain you could try double sided tape too!
