jamie Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I make candles and I use the 8oz tin with a clear lid. I really want to add a hang tag, but I'm not sure how. There's not really a lip on the tin to tie it to, it would slide down. And I don't know about elastic string......may look cheap. I want to hang the tag on raffia ribbon, or a silver ribbon to match my tins. Can anyone help me with some ideas ? My brain is tired. I've worked and worked on this idea. I want to take my tag and emboss my candle name on it. I thought about embossing the labels that I stick on the tin, but the hanging tag looks so good to me.Thanks in advance,Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Don't really think a hang-tag would be the best option, but you could always loop raffia (or something thin) through the label - put a small hole in the plastic - feed raffia through hole - tie off the raffia - trim excess. That's the only other idea I can think of, but again, don't think it's the way to go.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneSpecial Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 How about tying the bow or ribbon on the top, like you would do a gift? That way you can use your hang tag. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 you can also get silver elasctic. much nicer then straight elastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 If you have a label on the top, you could secure your hang tag thread underneath - sorta like the tassle on a graduation mortarboard hat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks for your help ! I will try some of these ideas ans see what looks the best. Right now, my tin looks so plain. It definatly need something to draw attention to it. I use the 8oz tin with clear lid and I was putting a foil label on top with my logo on it. But too much silver. So last week I bought some kraft paper colored labels and I've been playing around with that, but still nothing worth using. I really want a hang tag, but like you said, it may not be do-able unless I change containers. I'll play around with these ideas and I will try and post a picture when I figure it out. Thanks again for the help.Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
