Here’s another little market203 update. I like updating you guys because it keeps me accountable to my shop launch deadline (end of June) and keeps me excited about the process.
Today I’m sharing with you my recent labor of love, the hang tags. I wanted hang tags that could double as thank you cards for each product purchased. The hang tags are made up of thin crate paper matte board, newsprint paper and natural twine. I wanted the tags to feel very hand-made, a bit grungy, and as environmentally friendly as possible. I ended up making a total of 150- all cut, hole punched, assembled and stamped by hand. (let me tell you…that process makes your hands DRY!)
I bought a customized rubber stamp online ($12) with my logo on it that I could use to stamp whatever I wanted. The twine was bought at a local craft store ($5), large sheet of crate paper matte board I had (free), notebook of individual newsprint sheets ($3), and little protective stickers that go around hole-punched holes ($2). That’s a killer price for that amount of hang tags created and I have a bunch of supplies left to make more if needed.
If you want to add a little hand-made touch to your small business, try something simple like customized packaging, hang tags, or thank you cards. I think it makes a large statement on a small budget.
Stay tuned for business cards!
