  3. Print tags on white cardstock paper. 8.5x 11 - Should be able to fit 8 per page 

  4. Choose the smallest number size to print on tag ( 6-9 months- select 6 mos. for example.

  5. Attach Tags to clothes on the RIGHT SIDE underarm seam or the garments tag.  You may use small safety pins or a fine tagging gun ( if you have a lot of pieces we find this it easier) NO PINS OR TAGGING GUNS THROUGH FABRIC OTHER THAN NOTED !!!  It will make a hole in clothes, making the item unsellable. 

  6. Multi piece items - RUBBER BAND THEM TOGETHER. DO NOT USE safety pins or the tagging guns to clip multiple pieces together through clothing. It should all be hung to hangers.
