ama gift packs:

December 8, 2009

so about a week ago, with the help of nicholas, i spent some serious time making 100+ little gift bags for the american music awards gift lounge. i signed up with alison from the sampler as she was able to get a table at the gift lounge and would represent 30 handmade artists, giving out lots of free stuff to the celebs who came through.

i carefully sewed each tag, tied it with lace trim, and placed lots of oh, hello friend goodies inside the vellum bags. i really liked how they turned out... but am not sure that i would sew so many tags again, heh. it was a lot of work!

we also got the opportunity to display one item from our company on the table.. i chose an item that i felt would really represent my company and hopefully when they'd see my item they would remember it and associate it with the gift pack they received. here's the display i made up..

ama display item.
sadly, after the event, i got an email from the sampler saying that the necklace actually got stolen before any of the celebs came through :( so no one actually saw my display item. what a bummer. but oh well. i am all too familiar with people stealing (from selling at shows, hehe) and my gift packs were still included in the 100+ bags that got passed out and i'm glad i got a picture of my display. :: and like ivay said, "someone loved it so much that they even stole to have it!" lol, totally :) c'est la vie.

anyway: i actually have a really cool story about someone who came through unique los angeles last weekend and recognized my company from the ama gift bags: so i'll blog about that later. xo.

    As for the stolen necklace, think of it that way - someone loved it so much that they even stole to have it! I can't wait to hear the story, it's great that people remember your company! xo

    I'm so sorry your awesome necklace was stolen before anybody got to see it. How utterly wretched and sad some people's lives must be that they have to steal.

  10. That necklace is beautiful - no wonder it got stolen (sorry about that BTW). Those little bags you created are my far the cutest things I've ever done seen. Celebrities always get the good stuff, no fair! ;) Going to check out your Etsy shop right now - you've sold me!
