all this has me worried about doing merch again at all but i think if i keep stock rly low and in my control then it should be fine

like.....i'm already giving away a full set of buttons bc no one will buy them and i'm kinda forcing it on them anyway

idk what i'd do with a separate crochet, like, persona? seems kinda silly for smth i might not do long-term (craft fairs i mean). i already have a name i used for my crochet stuff on insta when i used insta, but idk. smth i'm turning over in my head like a rotisserie chicken

if it's on a magnet it's probably on a person

and that's all i got for now ✌️

so. clearly the laminated one is nice if i want to market things as dishwasher safe. but there are some convenient cricut settings i found that kiss cut the page without laminate and idk if i want to trial and error that to work with laminate...spraying was good though, i'd try two coats next time

paper with a laminate sheet! it's smooth and shiny
1) colors look nice, nothing has happened yet
2) rinse and paper towel dry, nothing happened
3) post-dishwasher, wtf??? it's totally fine. was able to press the edges back down like the others

paper with a glossy uv spray! i like touching it, it feels matte but looks kinda glossy
1) colors look nice, nothing has happened yet
2) rinse and paper towel dry, i think it smudged a little but not much
3) post-dishwasher, bad! was able to press the edges back down just fine though

paper with no coating at all! it's tacky to the touch, not a fan.
1) colors look nice, nothing has happened yet
2) rinse and paper towel dry, smudged the black off a bit
3) post-dishwasher, bad! was able to press the edges back down just fine though

they're rly good 🥲 if y'all have a crockpot i can send you the recipe later!
