work day in the life, small etsy shop owner, packing & handmade made-to-order items | studio vlog 51

[@jasminwoolgar9732]

I love watching your vlogs while I work. I am an Etsy seller too and I have a Flux Beamo laser but I mainly specialise in hand etched glassware. There are days when I just want to get my orders out and finish work as quick as possible but watching your videos always gives me motivation to hang on that little bit more and add a new listing or update a listing or take better photos.

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! Aw, I feel you. Some days I definitely want to just be done, but almost all my listings that perform well were ones I really took the time to put effort into creating and photographing. Hard work almost always pays off 😊

[@farrahvee]

Its doggo. omg adorable

[@cedl204]

I know it’s been a couple weeks or months. But I’m still so happy you found shiko. Love your videos. So glad you made my evening. I enjoy them so much.

[@TanaMakes]

Me too. I just stare at him sometimes and feel so lucky 🥺. So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for commenting 💕

[@BlueSkies7]

Thanks for another great video. It was so relaxing.
So sorry you suffer from migraines they really suck. I take an injection every month for them and I still get breakthroughs.

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!
They do really suck. I usually get them from either tension or heat and luckily have learned how to prevent them better by paying attention to if I'm relaxing my shoulder and neck muscles or not and by keeping the house really cool. Still get them occasionally, probably this day from stressing about recording the whole day lol

[@nickikeen9880]

I really loved this video Tana, thank you so much. Perfect to watch with my morning cuppa. And I hope you're fully recovered now. Migraines suck!!! 💜

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you, Nicki! Happy you enjoyed 🥰. I tried to let it pass but I eventually did have to take a tylenol for it to go away. 💕

[@nickikeen9880]

Bless you. Migraines are harsh. I'm glad you took the time for yourself to heal. X

Tana - you were talking about (a few videos ago) how your Mom was looking for the same dish that you put your water-activated tape into...and that it was something you picked up in an antique store (or something like that). Now that you're doing pottery - you could probably make something like that for her. Not an exact copy, of course - but similar in size with maybe your style added in :)

[@TanaMakes]

Oh wow, that's a great idea! I never thought of that but I probably could. The possibilities with pottery are endless 😍. Thank you 💜

[@themomlifeco]

I’m new sub and I’m so happy you popped up in my feed!!

[@TanaMakes]

Yay, thanks for subscribing! 🥰

[@donnadesko675]

I love your videos. I am binge watching them all. Thank you for all your advise on making items for your shop.
Question:. Where did you purchase your jewelry metal stamp machine!
Wishing you much success !!🤗

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you so much! Happy you're enjoying them! I got it from steelstamps.com. It's called the stamp perfect ssp. It's pricey but I've used it for years and definitely would've given up stamping a long time ago if I didn't have it.

[@donnadesko675]

@@TanaMakes thank you for the information. Also, where do you purchase your stamps? Thank you again.

[@SassyBully]

I just used your link to but my Glowforge Pro.

[@TanaMakes]

Oh my gosh, how exciting! I hope you enjoy using it when you get it. It takes a bit of learning but I truly love mine so much. Thank you 💕

[@미미즈]

It's such a beautiful video. so lovely💜 I subscribed to the channel☺️

Love your videos! Did you download your fonts into the glowforge?

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! No, I didn't. I edit everything in photoshop/illustrator and save as an svg before uploading to glowforge.

[@safa1586]

Do you anneal your metal before stamping?

[@ringaroundtherosieposie]

Hello! Your videos are so relaxing! I have a question about the GF. Have you clean yours yet? I've had mine a year and so scared to do maintenance fan cleaning. But mine's not working like it should (extra smoke, not engraving or cutting up to par) and I'm thinking it needs cleaning. I'd love to see you do GF maintenance video!

[@TanaMakes]

Thank you! Oh yeah I've cleaned it many times since getting it especially since I engrave a lot of wood and it gets it dirtier and smokes/stains more than other materials. I don't do super deep cleaning as often as I probably should - I usually tend to do that when it starts acting up.
Here's a good video on how to quick clean it: ua-cam.com/video/_1ggVus99cw/v-deo.html

I know you get your shipping supplies from eco enclosed but I was wondering if you are using the stay flat mailers? I’m trying to switching from boxes to mailers but I guess I need to know how flat the stay flatness of the mailer is? If that makes sense 🙈😂

[@TanaMakes]

I've never used the stay flat mailers but you can get free samples from them to compare! I personally would only start getting the stay flat ones if I started selling prints.

[@Michelle.Gibson]

@@TanaMakes Okay thanks!

[@madisonslittleworld2577]

What did you put in the coffee? At the beginning.

[@TanaMakes]

It's coffee concentrate from javy and I added pumpkin spice creamer from silk. The concentrate is good for days you don't feel like brewing coffee or when you want to make iced coffee.

[@HeleniSan]

Hi, what kind of machine is this? What is it called?

[@TanaMakes]

The laser? It's a glowforge. It's linked in the description.

[@hannahzoesch]

I loved this video! I also have an etsy shop, it’s called Handwritten Creatives and I am currently selling digital downloads and printable stationery🤍

[@carmenquinones6737]

Where did you get the stamping machine ?

[@TanaMakes]

From Steel Stamps.

[@andiebearie]

Hope you are feeling better. Migraines aren’t fun.

[@TanaMakes]

I am! Thank you 💕

[@javycoffeepartners1143]

Hi, Tana,
We’d love you to try our microdose coffee!💛 Let’s collab! For more information, I sent you an email :)

[@TanaMakes]

Hi. Pretty sure that's what I had in the beginning of the video?
