Oh I'm thrilled today! I just finished a long looong process of making individual jewelry tags for my butterfly line.
It only took so long because I don't think I have the super deluxe program to create these sorts of things. I'm not going to blame my savvy, I'm blaming the computer program, like that?
Anyways, I've always included a description tag with each necklace order I send. It says what it is, origin of the wing (since that's one of the most frequent q's), and how to care for it (this covers me when someone says hey I left it in my swimming pool and now it looks different).
They were little slips I would put into the baggie, and I was never satisfied with the look, because I know there is always a way to make it more professional looking. I always hoped people were reading them and not losing them in the box. But now they are attached!

These new tags have a hole punched into them so I can attach it to each chains clasp. AND now there's a space for me to be able to write what kind of wing you are receiving! I can just hand write that on at the time of clipping it onto the clasp (say that 10x fast).
In the photo above, I had to re-do the wing on the back of the tag, because when I printed it out, It was kind of flying in the middle. I have since made the wing sideways so its coming off the bottom of the tag.This is great because a lot of people get these as gifts, and I send a lot to boutiques and stores. This will make it reallly easy to slap a price sticker onto the back, and keep all the info attached to the necklace. OH I'M SO HAPPY!
I think the future ones that I make will have a nice color, but Im just printing these on white cardstock on my home printer, nothing fancy. Well, fancy pour moi.
The photo above is how they started out, I had to make a mock up, print it under the template made for vhs video spines (yeah old program), fold, cut and cut and punch a hole. I know, a lot of work, but I like to do this stuff. Its really satisfying and makes everything look great.
If YOU have some fabulous tags, or tricks to share about how to make your jewelry or goods look fabulous with all its accoutrements, please DO TELL! Leave a note in the comment section with a link to your items, or blog post about your tags and I will post it here.

oh! I just followed you over here from a comment that you left on my blog (a butterfly comment, so fitting, haha), and I LOVE your pendants!! So gorgeous. I don't wear many jewelry pieces, mostly because of my kids, but I think that I'm going to have to get one for Christmas, even if I have to buy it myself. I LOVE THEM.
xx Tia
oh please Do tell someone to get you a christmas butterfly! thanks for visiting!
Your pieces are gorgeous and it was one of these photos of your packaging on Flickr that brought me here.
I'm just redesigning my packaging, with Moo cards to keep them stable in their gift tin and little cherry blossom price tags for markets. Will take some photos soon.
