This afternoon I worked on my labels. I made 9 of them...already printed and cut from another day. I took the two pieces, placing them back to back, and stitched them together to keep them flat and loop-free. The edges fray a little bit, but I can't use any adhesive (because of lead/fire testing), and the fabric doesn't heat-seal like ribbon, so I'll have to live with the slight fraying. The important thing is that they have my registration number, company name, etc, and are attached to my animals in a "conceivably permanent fashion," or something like that.
And there's a label all attached and ready to go! A talented seller on Etsy, Brixton Studios, is making me a custom banner and button for my shop and blog, and I'm hoping to incorporate the button image onto my tags. I got a sneak peak today and it looks AMAZING, much better than I could have imagined! I'm super excited to put it up once it's all finished. :)
Finishing up with a picture from my label application. All my little plushies lined up to be stitched.
Aw, thanks so much for the shout-out, Kelsey! I appreciate it! I'm glad you like them :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! You're so talented. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there! Found you through Admirer Monday... like your blog and now following. Those labels look good, such a good idea too. Must get some for myself...
ReplyDeleteCheers, Chrissy :)
Thanks for visiting! I struggled with how I was going to make them and they're actually not too hard to do...just print them on printable fabric, rinse, iron and cut! The pack of 10 fabric sheets at Michael's only cost me about $16.
ReplyDeleteYour animals are sooo adorable! Any child would be lucky to have them. Don't worry about the fraying. I tried a June Tailor label that works well, contact me if you want the name of the specific label.
ReplyDeleteIf you cut out the rectangles one the bias, they'll fray less and will never fray away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, Heather...I'll have to figure out if I can tip the image on the computer and still get a decent amount of labels out of the page.
