Thank you so much Bianca! 🤩😊 I definitely should be more on top of my packaging in all instances so that I can be more prepared and packaged things faster should I get another wholesale order 😆 I definitely love gaining all this experience and I'm so thankful!

Thanks for watching Krista! That’s a great idea - I would want to use these to make sticker sheets as well so I’ll definitely try them out in that format. That’s not good if they come off with the backing layer! 🤔

Thank you!! I’m glad you like that one hehe 🥹

Thank you so much! It’s very exciting indeed! Slowly I will spread to other stores in the same town :P hehehe

Yes apparently they can!

Glad you found it helpful Danielle! :) I seriously need to try this Koala brand and compare it with these. The 2 stickers that were already on the bottle in the video where I stuck the new test stickers on were ones that I ran in the dishwasher! They bled unfortunately 🥹 I was told it’s also got to do with the printer and type of ink you use, unfortunately …and apparently the home printers inks aren’t coated or something and can withstand the heat and pressure from the dishwasher so you’d need a more industrial printer with different ink 🤔 so that’s something I’d have to look into in the far future! Lol

@@Tiramaesu_ that makes sense about the dishwasher/ink issue. Hmm I guess it depends if it’s worth it to you to make them dishwasher safe. It could also mean increased costs too for both your supplies and customers. I’m okay with using/buying non dishwasher friendly stickers personally 🙂

Yes very true, and same with me! I’m curious to know if most people buy stickers expecting them to be dishwasher safe or not. I usually buy stickers assuming that they aren’t! I definitely would like to explore that side a little more and try different manufacturers to see if I can find a company that can do this and still be affordable 😁

@@Tiramaesu_ I think the stickers made from sticker making companies are mostly dishwasher safe! For homemade it would have to be pigment ink for the ink to not run. In the future I may consider a pigment ink based printer but if you ever decide to go there I look forward to your reviews and personal experience ☺️

@@Tiramaesu_ okay I did quickly look up Sticker Mule’s website and theirs are dishwasher safe (they’ve been getting some bad press lately so to each person’s views lol)

I have to try koala next time!! I might’ve bought QYH when it was higher priced so htvront was the cheaper one 🤔 thank you so much! 😊

Do you use cricut machine to cut it? If so, what setting do you use?

@@carmenymigue2010 I use the Silhouette Portrait 3. There’s several custom settings I use depending on what sticker brand it is and if it’s laminated. If it’s laminated, I set it to a blade depth of 7, force of 26, speed at 3 and 2 passes. I almost always set it to 2 passes.

@@ljmartist thanks 🙏

Hi there!! Thank you so much for your support, so nice to meet you today and glad you like the things I make! It means a lot 🤗❤️🥺

@@Tiramaesu_ your welcome!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you! I use a canon printer :)

Ahh thank you sun!! 😎 I love looking for fun patterns like that one!

Hi Danielle, I'm glad you found the video helpful! Unfortunately it generally would be the maker/small business' loss, however depending on the shop / manager, they might compensate you if they had the knowledge something was stolen. I think it depends on each shop you work with (I'd ask about this if you're just starting to work together to make sure). I currently have ACT insurance which I use because I go to outdoor markets, but I know it provides protection for my products so I'm not sure if that might come in handy should I get anything stolen or damaged!

@@Tiramaesu_ yes I’d definitely ask to see what the shop says about loss/theft when I get the chance to do this! Thanks for answering 💛

You're welcome, Bianca! I didn't know it either, but glad I came across it! For the greeting cards I consign, I do not charge higher than my usual amount. Luckily, I I'm still able to make some profit even if it's halved. I sell them currently at $5 but I've seen people sell for $6 (it makes me nervous to think of whether that price might start turning ppl away or not...but maybe will think about it later in the future). But if there's something you want to sell as consignment and you think it's still at a good price point where people would buy, I say go for it! And as for contracts, I haven't signed any formal contract with any of the shops I consign with. They're pretty small shops / coffee shops and it's kind of more like a casual agreement that they'd work with me. However, one shop has started asking me to write them invoices for every time they write me a check to indicate how much product has sold in that given time period for their bookkeeping purposes. I think having a contract would be super helpful, though you might be the one to come up with that if you rly wanted it! I'm sure the bigger stores probably will require you to sign a contract. I hope that helps!

@@Tiramaesu_Thank you for the answers! I will save this video for later ☺️

Happy to help! 😊

Thank you bee! 😊😍

No problem, I’m happy it could help out! ❤️ It’s something we all have to get better at in not feeling bad about showing it all the time.

Omg yes that's a great price of advice, thank you for contributing! 🥹 It's hard when you're starting out and may end up going through lots of paper and Ink to find the right settings for you but it's totally necessary! I remember those early days and it hurts my soul lol but really happy to be over that stage now 😆

My pleasure Monchi ❤️Your tip was great and is helpful for anyone wanting to have an international shop! 🥹so important to know!

Thank you so much! Ohh wow there’s really actual bubblegum flavor that is like chicklet flavor?? That sounds really interesting!

Thank you for watching! And oh no that’s not the right one! I just checked right now and it seems they pulled out the matte option from their listing so it’s not there anymore 🥹😭 if you’re looking for a matte vinyl laminate, I can recommend Oracal Oraguard 210 or 215 (215 is a bit thicker) , as I previously used the 210 prior to this laminate. Buuut I don’t think I was ever able to find it on Amazon… I think I had to go to other sites to get it 🙈 Another one I heard about others using was this one (amzn.to/3RY6zno) but I don’t have any experience with this! I hope this helps!

@@Tiramaesu_ ok thank you for letting me know!

@@Tiramaesu_ Thank you for the alternative! I was wondering if you had a chance to test this, but when you apply your stickers to a surface and you need to peel it off, does the matte laminate layer separate from the sticker vinyl beneath it? Especially after it's washed?

Ahh I have not tried peeling them off before but I just tried this (while the bottle was dry) and it looks like it was going to start peeling the laminate off the sticker part and not entirely both !

@@Tiramaesu_ ok thank you so much for testing! I guess that would be the norm as I thought it was just me. Maybe best I dont try to remove stickers after I adhere them lol

Thank you so much! carbs will always be a staple of my diet 😁 I enjoyed collaborating with you! 🙏🏼☺️

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed! And you too 🥰

Yes! I feel like a lot (myself included) have put this moment on a pedestal and that the first launch must be perfect, which is why we can get so caught up in making sure we get everything right the first time 😅

Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!! That makes me so happy. Thank you so much 🥺❤️

Right?! Couldn’t have done it without shop friends to pitch in! 😇

Of course!! Thank you for that tip! Everyone needs that as a constant reminder 🥹

@@Tiramaesu_ yep! I’m always shouting it at people 😂 so many young’uns getting discouraged after a couple months

@@morgcules we need ya chasing after us every few months or so cause we seem to forget and again 😆🤭

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you! I’m really glad you found it helpful :) I wish you luck with restarting your business! Great flavor choice too!

Thank you so much!! ❤️ I’m glad to hear that. I will try to keep making more content and improve as I go :)) and thanks for entering!

@@Tiramaesu_ 🫶🏻

Right?! I’m really impressed ! They have a nice specific guide and have videos on it so I felt confident enough to know what I’m doing 👌🏼🤣 thank you for entering! ❤️

Hi! Unfortunately I do not, was only given the link in my description from minus transfers. However there’s usually a pop up when you click to go on their site for a 10% discount when you sign up with your email!

@@Tiramaesu_ Thank you for the information!

Thank u!

@@Tiramaesu_ your welcome!

Hello Rebecca! Aww I'm happy I could help inspire :) if you're able to afford it, hea transfer products are definitely the best way to do it! Either DTF, sublimation or screen print transfers are probably the best options for making apparel and accessories 🥰 I spend a LOT of time on my small business ! It feels like a full time job 😆 but if I had to guess, maybe 20-30 hours a week! And thank you for your entry!

@@Tiramaesu_ I had my Etsy shop in the same year as pandemic year, as I had a lot free time to learn how to do stickers and run a little shop. But I put it on vacation mode for a long time in those two years, as I started my school and I had to work so I barely had time to spend on Etsy and drawing again. But I still love drawing and handcrafting! I hand paint two tote bag with coffee theme using acrylic painting after I saw your hand-painted tote bag. I love how you make your video; it makes me feel like friends talking. 🥰 I want to try to make 4-5 hours per week to work on painting and making products at this time. And hopefully, I can have my Etsy shop running again~ Looking forward to watching your future videos about you and your product~

Ohh wow that’s great!! I started mine around that time as well 🥰 it’s a lot of work for sure, but you can do it! Putting 4-5 hours in consistently is great and it’s better to do it slow and steady than to spend lots of time. I hope you can get back to making stuff for your Etsy though! ✨ and I’m glad you feel that way!! I try to make it relatable while also documenting my findings the best I can ❤️🤗 I’ll definitely make more!

It's so friggin cute! 😂 Definitely gets a lot of attention cause it's so bright!

I've given up on my Duolingo 🙈🤣 and that's totally fair enough! I think it helps in case one day that changes and you end up making clothes for business or personal reasons! And thank you so much, carbs are the best haha :) thank you for entering! 🥰

Thank you Bianca! If you have tried HTV before for shirts or bags, the process is pretty much the same (except actually needing to cut and weed your own vinyl which is convenient!👌🏼) I’m super happy with it! 😊 and thanks for your entry!!

Thank you so much!! I love my new Blippo backpack 😇 omg I didn’t know that was possible LOL 😂

LOL omg yasss 😂 twins! It’s a great lil battery pack 😂👌🏼

I love it so much, thank you!! It holds a lot and is lightweight too 🙏🏼✨😍

Thank you lean! I’m glad it was helpful. There’s so much to talk about, resources for all those things are also important to discuss!

Aww that is so incredibly kind of you! Thank you so much 🥺💕

Ahhh thank you so much for the follow! I’ll remember you forever as my 1000th follower! Hehe 💕🥹🙏🏼

🎉 wishing you a 1000 more 🥳

It’s a 3 inch square!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! 🥺🙏🏻 I'm very excited!

Good question and I'm glad you asked! I wasn't sure if that was something anyone would be interested in -- but yes I can definitely make one about it :)

@@Tiramaesu_add me to that list!

Thank you so much Krista! ❤️ It is seriously a big win for me because I always seem to spend so much on supplies for some reason haha! I will definitely make an update video once my order arrives in the mail!:)
