"I decided to start from scratch and change the products I offered entirely, switching from decorated canvas totes and wood panels to bookmarks."
How I did it: First I prepared my stock of laminated bookmarks, which between buying plenty of colorful tassels, lots of cute vintage cards and laminating the latter cost me roughly $80.00.
Lessons & tips: I recommend patience and tenacity --especially when it comes to putting your finished product up on Etsy. When you accumulate a whole lot or are setting up a new store, uploading over 30 items can be grueling. But the end result should be worth it!

It took me 1 month.
It made me hopeful.

Cutting the excess lamination had to be done with a X-Acto knife to achieve the precision I wanted, and left my hands sore for many hours, but the result was worth it. The bookmarks came out so beautifully, that I kept many of them for myself!
