DIY product tags and earring cards

I've shopping around lately and been hoarding vintage clothes during my days off :) because I have a little more time to kill and my creative juices ready to flow, I wanted to try doing my own product tags and earring cards, unfortunately while typhoon Pedring was hitting the Metro. I really wanted the rustic feel of Kraft boards but finding the right thickness for the tags became a challenge to me. So I went to the bookstore and bought a couple of stuff that I needed for my project. 

1. Ticket puncher- for the perfect sized holes for the cards
2. Tagging Gun
3. Plastic Barbs
4. Epson printer Inks and...
5. 10 pcs of long Kraft folders- because they have the perfect color and thickness that I need

Kraft folders


trim down the folders to size 

Feed in your printer :P

Voila! customized tags!



I just adjusted the logo and punched two holes to make the earring cards :)
It was a lot of work but I had a lot of fun doing these tags and I was lucky I have very supportive friends here in the clinic who were helping me cut the tags and punch a bunch of holes.

Also, I'm very happy with the collection that I am preparing for you guys for the flea market; so far I've got more chiffon blouses and dresses, cardigans, floral blazers, skirts and cute culottes. The boyfriend also has this cool idea of showing you guys a few photos of the pieces just days before the flea market; to make you guys come by to our stall :P we are really excited guys! 68 days left!

All I need now are paper hangers, and more vintage clothes, accessories and If I'd be lucky a few vintage bags :)
