Anyways. I didn't have enough time or money to order tags to price my items but I still wanted them to look semi professional. :] This is what I came up with:
It's pretty simple.
I printed my shop name on plain white paper, using the same font as the banner on my store front...
I carefully burnt the edges using the lighter. This was a little harder than I thought. I burns fast! I think I might have burnt off my finger print on my right thumb... O.o
<<<Oops.
I bought some tag specifically made for jewelry from Hobby Lobby for $2.99
I really like these because they are neutral colored and they already have a sticky tab to hold the sides together. That was great.
Next I simply smeared a thin layer of Mod Podge on both the tag and the label(-ish printed paper)
and wallah!
I did use a little bit of coffee to stain the paper but when I say little, I mean it! I dipped a cotton swab in the coffee and let it sit until almost dry. Once it was merely damp, I dabbed it on both the white paper and the tag.
***Using too much coffee will cause the ink to run and doesn't allow the Mod Podge to bond.***
Below are the tags I use for my Owl Pillows and Bags.
My sister bought this stamp from Hobby Lobby ($3.99) that is perfect for signing your work without just having a signature floating around. Plus, it shows that your item is homemade. (Obviously)
Making my own tags was a lot easier than I thought and I'm pleased with how they turned out. I will still be buying some bulk printed tags for my items if this consignment deal takes off!
Oh!! Look at the flyer Shelby made! I love it. She is amazing.
Thank you love.
Have a blessed day and always remember life is beautiful.
