Creatively Displaying Bookmarks at a Fair
So I've been trying to come up with a creative way to display my bookmarks. Also to ship them when I sell on etsy. I debated about:
1. wrapping them around something.
2. Send them in bubble wrap.
3. loose in an envelop
4. connected to a business card.
None of these ideas seemed right, and I decided in fact they were pretty lame. So I did some googling for box templates. One of the first sites I found was: http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/templates.htm
They ahve some templates you can print out and use. I first looked at an icicle treat holder, but the bottom was empty, and I didn't like the idea of a tale sticking out. Then I found a diagram for a chopstick holder. I printed the template, worked on some modifications and found it to be almost perfect.
I have some leftover 8" x 8" scrapbook pages with designs on both sides. I took these and folded up a bunch of them to use for my current bookmarks I have listed on etsy. The only thing left to do is to figure out how to label them.
I also have to think about what I will do at a show if someone wants to take it out and look at the whole bookmark. That could get tedious replacing a lot of bookmarks back into their holders. But I will have to think about that for a bit.
If you read this, let me know how you think it looks. Thanks a lot for visiting!

A Lot has Happened Since 9/06
Hmmm. Soon after this last post I found out I was unexpectedly ......pregnant. I just thought I was approaching menopause. Not so. Fast forward to now, I have a beautiful 1 yo girl, 10 yo son, 20 yo step daughter, and 22 yo step daughter. I'm getting back into my etsy shop, but this time focusing on fiber arts. Jewelry has become so saturated all over, that I'm hoping to get in the front door of fiber before that gets saturated!
I will be back with an etsy mini of my shop and hope to post here more often than I have in the last 1.5 years.
