Craft Item price tags
#1
When you are selling items at a craft fair or in a craft mall what do you use for price tags or stickers? Do you go fancy with custom card stock hang tags or do you use printer labels or anything else?
I am looking for some creative, yet easily done, ideas.

I personally do not like to buy fabric items with stick on labels. Little hang tags attached with a safety pin, or just make a well displayed sign next to each type of item so people can tell the price quickly. I walk away from booths that I can't see the price easily, either on or right by the items.

For Autumn, I made my own from card stock and a hole punch to add the raffia and I used a tiny gold safety pin to connect the tags. Somtimes I would use a ink stamp with little pumplins ans fall leaves. Get creative and use your imagination. Then on the underside of the tag I would use the price tag gun with the sticky labels.
hope you can see these tags

I buy my price tags at Walmart, I get the orange and the green florescent ones, a set of big and a set of medium. I cut off the string and thread yarn or narrow ribbon through the hole in the tag and tie it onto my projects. I think that looks less "retail" because I only sell handmade items. And if it's a holiday sale, I'll draw a little holly w/berries, or little hearts, or something else festive on the tag.
A lot of times people will ask me for my name and phone number when they are interested in an item but can't purchase it right away so I always have cards that I've made up on my Excel program with that information. I make them big, around 3x2, if they are too small they are easily lost, and I print them out on florescent paper so they are easy to spot.
If time permits, I also make custom tags like Belmer, using my Excel program. I put on an item description, the price and my initials (sometimes I'm in a sale where your stuff is spread around so I put on my initials or my sales number if I'm assigned one). So a tag might say "luggage handle covers/stocking stuffer/$1.00/llw"

Clear as mud right? HTH
I like this because I can change my tags to match either the event, the season or the beneficiary of the money. And there are TONS of clip art available on line for free.

I got regular business cards from Vista Print, they are really cheap. Then I punched a hole in top corner, theaded with a ribbon either tied it on or attached with a small safety pin. For small items I used a 3 X 5 card and wrote information for the display. I also had a stack of business cards sitting on the table.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to look into the Vista Print pricing. This is one area I'm more than happy to let a professional do the work. I can handle the hole punching and threading a ribbon!
