Needed:

White Cardstock:

• Essential for printing your tags and keeping them securely attached to your items.

Safety Pins:

• Use size #3 safety pins (approximately 1.5 inches long) to secure clothing on hangers and attach tags.
• Conduct a 'shake test' to ensure your items stay presentable on the hanger. If needed, use safety pins to secure them.

Children's Plastic Hangers:

• Opt for plastic hangers; wire hangers are not allowed due to the risk of bending and tangling on clothing racks.
• Use child-sized hangers for clothing sizes Newborn - 6/6X and adult-sized hangers for size 7 and up.

Scissors:

• Regular scissors will do the trick for cutting tags and other materials.

Optional:

Tagging Gun:

• While optional, a tagging gun is highly recommended for efficient tagging. It's a cost-effective tool that simplifies tagging clothes and soft toys.
• Ensure proper placement when using the tagging gun to avoid tearing fabric.

Paper Cutter:

• Some find it handy for cutting tags more efficiently.

Zip Ties:

• Great for keeping items together and increasing their chances of selling, especially for toys or sets with multiple pieces.
• They are versatile and commonly used for attaching shoes together or securing tags to items.

Gift Wrapping Ribbon:

• An alternative to zip ties, ribbon can be used to secure items if done properly. However, zip ties are often stronger and quicker to secure.

Painter’s Tape:

• Necessary for tagging books to protect them from damage when the tag is removed
