hey this is a great video .. i was wondering if you would be willing to do a tutorial on how you made the cardstock boxes?

[NoadiArt]

@AshrealeLashae I stopped making my own boxes and I don't know if I even still have the templates for them. However there are a ton of websites online for how to make boxes, google "printable box templates" and you'll pull up quite a few.

This is a very good tip, but how much more to the cost of the jewelry did you add because of the extra packaging?

[neomom06]

thanks a bunch.......but the earrings i make a super long "feathers;leather" do you have any advice for something that long i'm new to this.......i need all the help i can receive ;) thanx hope to hear from you..... you give awesome advice....

[NoadiArt]

For really long earrings you could get some card stock and poke a couple holes in a piece or those little plastic earring cards to put your earrings on so they don't tangle up. Then I'd put them in zip top bags with a label like I show in the video but in a larger size, say 3x5 inches. Hope that helps.

Yayy!  Great tips. Thank you so much!

you should really consider re_recording this video and lowering the volume of the background music, it drowns out your voice making it difficult to hear you. Other than that , very informative thanks!

Great Job! I wanted to ask you where you sell your jewelry? I recently started selling my jewelry full time, I have tried fleamarket, family gatherings and neighborhoods. Any suggestions?

[ibemarcia3]

Not really. I've been sewing for many years, so I know what goes into making 1 bag, let alone several. Making 1 bag doesn't just take a few seconds, and several bags will take up a lot of your time. And, don't forget -you're also spending money for gas to drive to the fabric store, wear and tear on your car, and again, your valuable time driving/shopping, that you could be using to make your product. It makes better business sense to buy your bags wholesale or even retail.

[ibemarcia3]

I agree that packaging is important, but sewing your own bags, etc. will eat into your time for creating your product. Be careful here.

[NoadiArt]

That depends on a few factors, how fast you sew the bags, how many, etc. Totally depends on your business.

Love your recycling ethos and your boxes made from card stock are really gorgeous.
