CLOTHING:
|
|
|
|
All clothing should be freshly laundered,
clean and free of the following:
|
| rips or
tears |
stains |
fading |
| broken
zippers |
missing
buttons |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All clothing must be neatly hung on HANGERS
(tubular-plastic or wire)
|
|
(adult sized wire hangers okay for the larger sizes
or for pinning sets together)
|
|
|
|
Wal-Mart sells child-sized
tubular-plastic and wire hangers for $.10 each.
|
|
Dollar-stores are also a good source for cheap hangers.
|
|
|
|
Use 2-piece hangers to hang sets or dresses
with diaper covers
|
|
OR hang sets on ONE hanger by pinning the top
and bottom of clothing together
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hang clothing so that the HANGER HOOK is
pointing to the LEFT (like a ? mark)
|
|
|
|
Hang pants, shorts, skirts, etc on child-sized
pants hangers
|
|
OR pin at the waist onto wire child or adult
sized hangers (see photo above).
|
|
|
|
Use safety pins to attach accessories (bows, socks,
belts, etc) that match an outfit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ATTACHING TAGS TO CLOTHING
|
|
|
|

GUN

|
|
(For reasonably priced tagging guns:

(located at Page & 170 or shop online) OR
check Office Depot & OfficeMax)
|
|
|
|
*** We recommend the short 1" - 2" plastic
barbs to load the tag gun. ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attach tag to either the garment's label in the
neckline OR
|
|
to a RIGHT-hand seam
(at the shoulder,
neckline, underarm, etc - on the RIGHT side of the garment).
|
|
|
|
**** PLEASE, please do NOT pin or attach directly
into the clothing fabric as it often

to the buyer when they discover it at home!

plastic zip ties (available at Home Depot or Lowes (see photo below).

Use a hole punch to attach the price tag (at
the top of tag) through the string/ribbon/zip tie.

If you choose to put shoes in a zip lock bag, tape the
