CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#135 ) I'M GONNA NEED TO SEE SOME I.D.!

Of course you do crafters... don't you?

I am referring to identifying or labeling of your crafty contents.

There are just some things that you may want to label & if that is the case for you then you want to stick around for this tip.

You know the packages that your merchandise comes in? Well, they usually have the manufacturer name & identification of the product it contains right on the insert. Why not save that, cut it in a uniformed fashion to fit your container where you will then contain your craft supplies?

For instance, if you have a lot of Tim Holtz goodies- all his packages come in that cool vintage looking packaging. Just like the one below...


You can simply pull the actual branding insert from the packaging, cut it to size & adhere it to your container, a box or a tag and it will have all the information you need.

I' m sure I don't have to tell you how helpful it is to have your craft supplies labeled. Great thing about using the packaging inserts is that a lot of them have signature wrapping. So even at a quick glance you know what brand something is based on the style of the packaging insert before you even read the label.

I hope you find this helpful my crafty friends.

  4. I pull out all the inserts too, I keep them in a box and flip through them on occasion. Tim Holtz packaging is too cool to toss anyways! Hope your Easter was wonderful!
