HOW TO PIN, TAG, & HANG ITEMS
Follow these tips and guidelines to successfully pin, tag, and hang your items for the Lil' Angels Consignment Sale:
-
The nicer the presentation, the more likely it is to sell.
-
Pin items to wire hangers with large, sturdy safety pins so they will not fall off. Wire hangers are preferred, but we accept all hangers.
-
Pin item tags securely to the item on the RIGHT side.
-
Please use large safety pins only; small safety pins tend to pop open and fall off. NO small, flimsy safety pins or tiny gold pins. We want to make sure your items stay on the hanger and the tag does not get separated from the item. Large safety pins can be purchased at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Target, etc.
-
Shirts should be safety pinned to the hanger near the shoulders or neck to ensure that the shirt stays on.
-
Shorts/Pants/Skirts are pinned to the “shoulders” of the hanger, towards the middle of the waistband, so they don’t slip. A pin passes through the front and back of the shorts and around the hanger on each side for a secure hold. An extra pin in the middle will make them even more secure.
-
Outfits - Hang the shorts/pants/skirt with the shirt so that they can both be easily seen. Hang the shirt on the hanger and then turn it around so that you are facing the back of the shirt. Next, safety pin the top of the bottoms through shoulders of the shirt and around the hanger so the bottoms do not pull down the shirt.
-
Clothing Sets - Please ensure each item is the same size. If they are not the same size, please tag and sell separately.
-
ALL TAGS MUST BE PRINTED ON WHITE CARDSTOCK PAPER. This is to protect your items from being separated from it’s tag. An item with no tag cannot be sold.
-
Shoes - Please package shoes in sealed, clear plastic bags. This prevents the shoes from getting tangled in the bins.
