If you make your own jewelry tags, be sure to use the heaviest cardstock that will work in your printer or copy machine.

Heavier paperstock will help them survive the handling they'll get at jewelry shows and home parties! It is important to use only acid-free paper or cardstock for your jewelry tags and earring cards. Anything else will wind up making your metals tarnish quickly!

You can design your cards in your own custom sizes using a spreadsheet or your wordprocessor's tables feature.

I discovered that a paper-cutter will cut your cards apart much more quickly and evenly than scissors. And to used the same tag layout to create your own earring coards, you can simply print two dots (periods) where you want to poke holes for your earwires to hang from.

You’ll get perfectly even holes every time by having them pre-marked! I then use an awl to punch the earwire holes in the cards.
