Another thing I have recently revamped slightly is my Etsy order packaging. As a buyer on Etsy I really appreciate lovely packaging and I have always tried to make the packaging for my own work pretty but as sustainable as possible. I've recently tried to update everything, and here is the latest incarnation that will be rolled out with all new pieces:
The large box is for brooches and necklaces, the smaller for earrings and bracelets. The boxes are recycled, and reuseable - I used to stamp my 'KT' logo on boxes but have decided instead to go with a moo.com sticker to decorate the box, which I hope makes it more reuseable. Around the box is some black organza ribbon, folded into a bow and secured with thread and some small beads. With the box goes an origami crane, a moo minicard, and a recycled kraft card on which I write a short thank you message. These all go into a wee glassine envelope. Finally it all goes into a pink and white striped paper bag (the sort you used to get penny sweets in!). I send it all off in a Jiffy Green padded envelope, which is recyclable.
I'm always on the lookout for new packaging possibilities, and have had some wonderful inspiration from many fellow Etsy sellers who come up with some beautiful and original ideas. My favourite packaging so far has been from tinctory (no longer on Etsy but now here) and bullfinchbarbury - both were for beautiful pieces of jewellery and the packaging was the icing on the cake!
