Preparing For The Journey...

When I thought about packaging for my little critters, I wanted something with an organic look.  I wanted my customers to feel as if their package was arriving wrapped in love!

I recently shipped off a couple of little plush fellows, and thought I would share with you how I prepare and ship them off to their new homes!

So here we go!

First, they get tagged.  I printed off a whole sheet of these round tags on a thick cardstock and cut them all out by hand.   Then I punch a little hole and thread some twine through to tie around their necks.


Next they get bagged!  I have two different sized muslin bags I use to keep them cozy.  Larger ones for the larger plush, smaller ones for the littles. 


I pre-stamp all of the bags with this super awesome custom stamp I had made courtesy of JLMould on Etsy. I love love love this stamp and could stamp it on everything in sight if I could. All I had to do was send her my logo and she did the magic! It arrived super fast too. Highly recommend JLMould ;)


Next I get the box ready.  Sticking with my "organic" earthy feel, I use kraft boxes... and of course I stamp that up as well! I have different sized boxes for different sized items.


Then all of the goodies go inside and I close it up and tape everything! My creations will be nice and happy during their journey across the country.


That's how it's done, my friends.  I have a few items on their way to brand new homes!  So if you are ever expecting something from me in the mail, you now know what to look for ;)!
