Coming Soon - Shop

 Hi all, Panda here!

I'm finally opening up shop. All of 2020, I had been experimenting with different types of products. I'll go into a little detail for what's coming!

T-Shirts:

I have decided on two brands: Hanes and Gildan. They are affordable and last a long time. I am using 3G Jet Opaque transfer sheets for Darks (same stuff that malls use for shirt kiosks) as well as Jet Pro Soft Stretch for lights.

I tried ironall and blue/red grid, however they tend to peel off a lot sooner than the brands I am using now. The key is to wash only in cold water on delicate cycles.



Stickers:

I had a hard time with this one, but I eventually fixed most of the issues. I am using Koala matte and LD glossy paper. I was worried when I discovered that the ink kept rubbing or scratching off of the glossy paper. I was going to trash an entire pack of sticker sheets, but I discovered that it actually takes 2-3 weeks for this paper to dry.... So, I think it's safe to say that I will be selling these now. There will be 3 different types:

-Matte Stickers - use these as stationary/decorations

-Laimated Matte = for abrasive conditions like on the back of your phone case or laptop lid

-Photo Glossy = ideal for walls, mirrors (your dresser), doors, or other places where they won't
get scratched/rubbed.



Plush Dolls:

I use a special software that turns 3D objects into cut patterns for plush dolls. I'm selling Ooh Bunny, Tony Panda, Ciel Katt, and Eve Bear.

These dolls are made with fleece and the faces are embroidered. I will most likely be stuffing them with cotton or some kind of 50% mix.



Canvas:

I found out that I can use a heat press to apply T-Shirt transfers onto canvas and it works amazingly well. I will offer two sizes, 6x6 and 8x10. The supplier doesn't always carry the same size, but they always have at least one of these.



Pins:

I'm using a shrink film (plastic) to create these pins. They are sturdy and look great! I've yet to determine a good size, but when I decide on one, I'm sure it'll be just right.



Prints:

I have obtained some nice 13x19 matte paper for mini posters. I have been selling these locally already and they are a hot item. I use Koala matte and it works well. When I ship, they will be protected by two foam boards, not rolled in a tube.

That's all for now. So far so good. I'm just waiting for my new embroidery machine and some more supplies, then I should hope to open the shop in full. 

Signing off!
