Chauna1 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Dip Bears- What do you put the bear on when selling them or giving as a gift so that a person could say put them on a table and not have to worry about them ruining the wood? I was thinking plastic doily's but they have holes in them so that won't work. Can someone give me some suggestions as to what to use to put them on so they don't ruin something? I would like to find some pie tins that people used to use for making pies that have the scallop or fancy edging but have no idea where to find them. I don't think they have them in stores any more. I want to keep a uniform look for all my bears so they all have the same look when package even if they aren't the same type of bears.I did one bear and love it. But I need to find something to put it on before I package it so whoever receives it can take it out and sit it on something without worries. TIA to anyone who can offer some help.

Lauchie Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I use to use different things all very cute but mostly I use the little clear plastic plates they use for reception plates or weddings for the refreshments. They are about 4 or 6 inches & they are light weight for shipping or just for packaging plus they look nice. Seems to work good & my customers like it. I think they are about $10.00 for 50 at Sam's Club.:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I use tin plates from Colonial Tin for all my bears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patsy Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I use a decorative tin plate from the dollar store. I also add in the instruction/care to use this plate to protect from damage to table etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalClear Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I use a ceramic tile. They are cheap and it does the job! I have never had a complaint. This year I am going to personalize the bottom of them. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awickedscent Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The wood plaques at Michaels or any craft store work well also. Just need to stain them or varnish them if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I also use the glass plates for large bears and black metal tins for smaller ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueH Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I saw someone selling bears last year and she put them in baskets. They looked wonderful! Just have to wonder if the FO in the wax would eat through the basket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
