Pretty Packaging - Part 1:


  

Apologies for the recent lack of blogging. I have been working on a few lovely projects including designing packaging for my hair slides. I have used Vista Prints recycled paper business cards and have had them printed on both sides:


I have designed the card to have two lines printed on the reverse as a cutting guide so that the slits are in the same place each time (I like these things to be perfect!) also on the reverse is a little warning.

 

I am pleased with the result. I have left enough space at the top to punch a small hole if needed for shop / craft fair displays etc. I am currently working on some new designs for button hair slides using my own designed fabric. I have just placed a little order with Spoonflower to see how they turn out. Fingers crossed! x

  1. What a great Idea, I sell only a few hair slides, and just cliped them onto my business cards, but this a good, cheapish idea, really simle and shows off your hair slides....Love it. Kx

  3. Hello Emily Pickle! (so sorry, I really just can't separate the two names now. I called my friend Emily, Emily Pickle the other day, and she thought I had lost my mind, I tried explaining it to her, yeah, I lost my mind...)
    But anyways..., I love your packaging. A job well done! And love that your are using recycled business cards, so totally cool! And I can't wait to see your own fabric design! Have a great day!

  4. Hi Kate,
    The new backing cards look great, very pretty.
    I have been making (trying to!) some hairslides with fabric flowers on them and was wondering what you use to attach yours to the clip? I have tried UHU glue but thats not strong enough, I was thinking I might need a glue gun!? xxxGem
