Packaging your Goodies

If you missed my last week post over at Kassi's blog Truly Lovely here it is!

A tutorial on how to make your own pretty packages for your shop or craft show so that your products will have a nicer and professional look. And they are very easy and cheep to make.


You will need:
Cardstock
Paper Trimmer
Cello Bag
Stapler
Stamp
and of course the goodie to pack!


Stamp you logo or whatever you would like at the bottom of the cardstock. I got my cute stamp with the logo of my Etsy shop from My Rubber Stamp. They have a great selection at very reasonable prices.


Now score just above the image.


I than folded the stamped part of the cardstock and trimmed so that both sides are the same size.


At this point insert the hair accessory (a pony tail holder in this case) inside the cello bag (you can find them at any craft store by the baking section, they are from "Wilton")



If needed fold the cello bag and place the cardstock on top of it. Staple each side and you are done!


So easy to make and it really do makes a difference when your goodies are all nicely packed!
