Wooden Gift Tags

Hey there,

There's a new product in the shop! :)





It's one of the things that most crafters and makers use and need every day - for gift wrapping, packaging, and labeling.




You can write and even stamp on them. We're sure they would look cute too with washi tapes :)







These wooden gift tags come in packs of 10. To place your orders, fill out the order form here :)

Meet Cut and Paste

Cut is a robot with mechanical scissors in place of hands and fingers. With precise computer-aided calculations and laser-guided measurements, he's capable of feats no human can ever do, such as cut in a straight line. His specialty: rapid confetti-making.

Accompanying Cut is is his best pal, Paste. This guy is always ready to paste things on anything with the brush that never leaves his hands and bottles of gooey glue in his pockets. His unusual passion has led him to develop numerous kinds of adhesives, most notable among them is the non-toxic, sugar-based, glue used to make bubble gum stick to hair.

Together, Cut and Paste form an unlikely bond as they search high and low for unique challenges and ways to put their skills to good use. Need an emergency pop-up card done? Easy-peasy. Duct tape can't fix it? Paste can do it! For them there's always something for them to do, and people to help out.

Yet, despite all that work, they always remember to also help each other out. Cut is actually Paste's barber (check out that slick do on Paste!), and Paste constantly makes sure all of Cut's parts stay together.

At the Airport

So, how do you avoid that awkward moment at the airport where you accidentally get someone else's luggage and get mistaken for a thief?

I went to Davao last week to hold a Washi + Twine Jewelry Workshop. My flight was delayed so it was already close to midnight when we landed. I was so sleepy and didn't pay so much attention to things - save for my midnight food cravings. When I finally saw my luggage at the conveyor belt, it was right infront of me! I hastily lifted it up and checked if it was mine. But before I could even find the tag, the real owner worriedly told me it was hers! Everyone looked at me. It was a very, very awkward moment. Haha!

So, on the day I flew back to Manila, I made sure my luggage had a washied letter "M" on it! :)

Tadaaah!

There it is!







So easy to spot and you also have a lead time to strategize your moves on how to lift it away from the platform :p
