✱Clay Charms Promotion✱ Sep 11, 2020

We'll be using paper envelopes, paper packaging, and EcoEnclose recylable mailers to those pay for tracking. Unfortunately, we do use plastic as well and hope to cut it out of future sales. We don't want to waste what we have, so we have decided to use it and prevent buying these baggies in the future. However, most plastics can be recycled at your local store's plastic bag drop-off box.

✱Big Cartel Shop Up!✱ Nov 27, 2020

We've stepped up our game and have a wide variety of prints to choose from, as well as stickers from Zap Creatives! Our Shapes Squad singles are made out of a very thin polyethelene vinyl unforuntately, but that decisions was based on the assumption you guys would put the stickers on things that need that kind of waterproof protection. However, with sticker sheets, the remainder of the sticky page gets thrown away often and we have opted for 100% recycled paper stickers for our sheets! We also have 100% recylced acrylic charms along with our already existing clay charms that we coat with Mod Podge and other ingredients you can get at your grocery store~

Our prints however are not made of recyclable material, but matte photo paper, for prints are often hung up and admired. Our packaging now includes red, yellow, and blue tissue paper with some recyclable kraft boards or chip boards with the pre-existing envelopes and recyclable mailers! The only plastic that exists is perhaps of the previous charms from our September promotion, but we have switched to glassine bags and will continue to use Washi tape or paper stickers to seal things off! We'll continue to work toward being more transparent and making more sustainable choices as we are able to.
