I like tissue paper and a simple piece of string because my packages are really light. If I wrapped my things in heavy clothbags my package would weigh a lot more and that would lead to more fossil fuels being burned in transport. Just another thing to consider - aside from aesthetics.germandollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229067228251394252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944659047568738734.post-39107931673593754752010-04-24T20:40:08.021-07:002010-04-24T20:40:08.021-07:00Hello!

Katsinthebelfry did a tutorial on her blog and it just fits my style. I went on to ebay and bought some cute Mary Engelbreit stickers to decorate the brown envelope and use fun colored threads to zig zag around the edges.<br /><br />Inside the envelope I put the doll out fit in a ziplock baggy. Incase the package were to get wet I would not want the doll clothes to arrive wet, damp, musty smelling or worse yet stained.<br /><br />I enjoy reading your blog. Especially when you share tidbits of your childhood/life in Germany.Folky Dotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674337425926286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944659047568738734.post-9330990871108780632010-04-23T16:30:50.350-07:002010-04-23T16:30:50.350-07:00I do the same things that you mention, including a...I do the same things that you mention, including adding a business card and hand written thank you note with each order. I think it makes that person feel special.

I wrap in tissue paper and attach a business card that matches my banner, with a thank you sticker that has my etsy name on it. I cushion my items with newspaper, so far it has worked very well!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194903444192172264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944659047568738734.post-39174260855499114682010-04-23T09:56:15.442-07:002010-04-23T09:56:15.442-07:00I try to use as little paper in my packaging as po...I try to use as little paper in my packaging as possible, so I make drawstring bags to send all my orders in. Using old shirts, it costs nothing and takes only a few minutes to make! <br />ps. I personally love when someone sends me a package in a recycled cereal box:) Being earth friendly is much more important to me than aesthetics.

My one criticism is that it seems really narrow on the page, with lots of empty space on the sides. But perhaps you plan on filling those later? If you decide to go with a larger template there is a great post here on how to make your pictures larger. http://apryldeeterphotography.blogspot.com/2009/05/tutorial-bigger-photos-on-blogger-blogs.html And let me know if I can help in any way! You can convo me through etsy for the fastest reply.FairiesNesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447315631854416364noreply@blogger.com
