I just had new business cards made up and I really like the cards so I thought I would have my hang tags done too. I want to redo what I have on the back of them. The tags are business cards that go up and down rather than sideways. I will have 500 printed (double sided on heavy paper for under $30 with the shipping.) I think something more artsy if you know what I mean. the felt one is not that terrible but the nuno one is awful The back of the felt card says:
Felt is Made Starting with Loose Wool, Soap and Water. Using Ancient Hand Techniques the Wool is Turned into Felt and the Desired Shape at the Same Time.
Each Item is Individually Handcrafted.
The back of the nuno felt card says:
Nuno Felt is a Modern Interpretation of Felt. It is Made using a Combination of Loose Wool and Fine Woven Silk .
Each Item is Individually Handcrafted.
I know that I want to change silk to fabric so I am not restricted. when I printed my own I would just run a page of 10 off with silk changed to what ever I needed. I am hoping the creative minds her can give me some advice.

I think the wording on the Nuno one is fine, especially changed to 'fabric'. The felt one is too, very concise and to the point. I don't like artsy or flouncey wordings, it can sound patronising and it often tends to be what people use when their item 'needs' it. Yours don't. Maybe you could leave a space to hand write which fabric you've used on the Nuno ones and any other fibres/embellishments on the felt one?

I agree with Zed. I think leaving a space to write in any extras is good. Does the front of the card tell anything about you? It might be good to tell a little story about you living on a farm, having your own sheep etc.

Simple is always better. I agree with both Zed and Ruth about the space and a little about you. Felting seems so magical to most everyone -- seeing is believing in this case having the tag on the item, but I can bet there will still be questions and intrigue. :-)

I think that people want to know how you process. I know that would interest me. It sounds pretty good right now.

Ann, I like what you have now. Are the random capital letters normal print? I don't sell. I don't like artsy. Does it matter where you sell whether you're arty or not?

Billie the text was done like a title is with all the main words capitalised and all the small words not. On the tags all centered. maybe it would be good to have it in one of the fonts that are all capitals.
