Hi everyone. I’ve been thinking about using the Cricuit maker or air to make the labels and hang tags on bears and bunnies and I just wondered if anybody had been using that and how that worked out for them and what kind of products they use like paper, cardboard, leather, ribbon, and how that worked for them.

I love your little bears, they are just adorable!

I like etsy, they do a lot to help you run your bussness. I agree with Joanne, customers will go where you are. You may  get new ones by setting up there. They connect to facebook and Twitter so your new listing can be posted there right then. It takes time where ever you set up I believe.

Also if your wanting to make a fox, the way I read your post, it might be fun to keep the legs a bit longer where the real foxes have it longer on the backs of the front legs and hind legs. Around the neck/chest area also. Just some ideas passing thru  bear_original

Hi kirstie  the key to trimming hair is to go with the dirrection of the hair to keep from leaving scissor/trimmer marks  the gaurd is helpful.  Practice on some scraps so you get familar with the look it leaves, with either tool. Hope this  helps.
