It’s a tough world out there, trying to compete with big businesses. So, if you are a crafty entrepreneur who sells homemade goods, here are a few projects to help you attain a professional look.

Turn your old gift wrap, parcel paper, magazine pages, or even newspaper in to cute little gift bags. It will give your work a more personalised feel and your customers will be happy to have something to take their purchases away in.

DIY Stamps
Make yourself some customized logo stamps. That way you can put your identity on stationary, gift bags, and gift tags.

You will need:
- Foam
- X-Acto Knife
- Glue
- Pencil
- Ink Pad

	1. Draw your design on a square of foam.
	2. Cut out the shape with an X-acto knife.
	3. Glue the shape on to another square of foam and get stamping.

Find the full tutorial, along with instructions for making an ink pad, here.

Finally, here is a great how-to that I found on craftster, for making personalised labels out of ribbon and transfer paper. Good luck.
