Ok, crafters, I’ve got a
confession to make. Economically, the
winter season is not the most profitable here at Starlight Labels but I can
easily say that I love it the most. As
the cold weather settles down on most of us here in the Grand Old USA, our crafting
customer’s creativity cranks up and we get an influx of clothing labels order with
text like “Made with Love by….” etc. It
seems like all you crafters are coming out of the proverbial woodwork to order
our clothing labels to affix to the lovingly, handmade creations that you made
as gifts. Holiday fever is here!
It
brings to mind images of simpler times when our youngsters were taught to stitch
samplers in their spare time, when entire families sat around in the cozy warmth
each evening and enjoyed each other’s company.
Seems to me that today’s crafters are answering a call within themselves
to slow down from the frenetic pace in our modern world, to opt out from the superficial
plastic dazzle of consumerism that lures all of us in.
In my own home, my family is
currently working on a beautiful 1,000 piece puzzle from Ravensburger. Each evening the struggle repeats itself as I
battle to tear myself away from my never-ending daily tasks to spend this
special quality time with my kids. Once
I actually sit down with the puzzle and the kids, I find myself in a different
realm. I feel as if I’ve traveled to a different
place where life is simpler, somewhere where I can simply enjoy my interaction
with my kids, where all of us focus on one simple task at a time, and enjoy the
tangible, visible progress our creation reveals each and every day. I find that it’s a great way to teach my
kids perseverance in our modern world of ease. When we started, I told my son, “If we want to
actually finish this puzzle, we’ve got to do it every single day and persevere
till it’s done. No putting it aside for
later or you’ll just have another unfinished project.”
Making a puzzle is definitely not
as satisfying as finishing a craft that the crafter actually plans on their own. The end result of our puzzle will be a piece
of art, but the actual art was not designed by us, or color coordinated to
match a room or mood or relationship that the giver might have with the
recipient of their handmade gift.
I actually feel jealous of the
lucky recipients of your gifts; they are not getting just another generic store
bought product. They’re getting a gift
with a special touch and a piece of the giver’s heart.
Where does Starlight Labels come in to all this? Once your precious handiwork is
done, we provide the professional looking label to affix to your project. Our most economical labels are $9.99 per set of 100 so they won’t take a big bite out of your gift giving budgetand are available in both Sew On or Iron On Labels. Yes, there are clothing label companies out there that
offer beautiful customized multi-colored or woven labels to affix to your
creations, but they charge a price to match.
We understand that many of you crafters out there are looking to save
and we’re pleased to offer a professional looking label that is actually
affordable.
Add a little oomph to your
clothing label by choosing one of our assorted options:
Red or Blue ink to make it stand
out


Script or Monotype Corsiva font for a homemade touch
An Icon that represents
you
Simply add your initial to the clothing label
Or you can create a completely customized label
with any image that you send us for just $15.99 per 100.
