I opened an esty shop to sell some of the items that I have been making. Mostly bows and made-to-order lollipops. (I am working on some toddler purses that I am almost done with and I will be listing within a few days :o) They are adorable and my little darling loves to tote her purses everywhere!) When I opened the shop I was gunho! I wanted to make so many items to sell and I wanted to make my shop a success! I have had this shop since March and I have had minimal views to say the least. I would be happy when I would get 2 views in a day. This bummed me out but I was still determined to sell some things. I kept the items updated and added a few things here and there. I would still check everyday but was not really surprised when there are NO views at all.
And then it snuck up and bit me.....
I GOT AN ORDER! YAY! I was watching football (the Rams vs the Cardinals..wow surprise game) and I looked on my phone..
and there it was telling me that I had made my first sale! I was so excited! All this time waiting and hoping. Then it really SNUCK UP AND BIT ME! I had not thought of a way to package my item. What was I going to do? I started to think and research online the unique ways to wrap them up. I knew I wanted to use my trusty Silhouette Cameo in some way. I picked out some different boxes and chose a simple box shape. I used a purple cardstock. The cardstock is from Stampin Up but because I am not a big stamper I have not clue what color it is. After cutting the shape I came up with and idea to cut my shop name out on the box lid and the word "thanks" in the slip on tag.
I think it came out great and I hope that make customer (he he...I have a customer) likes it as well!
Aren't the bows cute! The bows are for infants and have velcro closure.
This picture has the "THANKS" band slipped on the box.
I also included a card and mailed the box out to a waiting customer! I hope that my shop continues to get sells and the feeling of accomplishment is always there with every sale. If you want to check out my shop and items I have for sale here is the link!
