WE HAVE TO LEAVE OUR SMALL BUSINESS 📦 Moving 1000+ Products, The big studio move

[@wolf_ceit_witch]

Congratulations! You can get UV blocking film for the Skylights, it will cut down on the heat and exposure of light to things.

[@KatnippStudios]

OOoOoOo thank you so much for this suggestion I didn’t even know this was a thing 😂❤

[@punkyclozzy]

Brilliant idea, because the card products could get sun damage as well

[@whitneykopsie9772]

Amazon or a hardware store should have a roll of it for you.

[@ericastoddard1068]

Yeah! You could probably even hang some curtains over the front

[@hiddentidesgaming]

I wonder if they make the really cute cling color options with UV blocking like the rainbow prism looking ones?

[@sierra565]

Dean zoning out in the background is just like me fr fr.

[@KatnippStudios]

😂😂😂 heheheh

[@momoz2848]

You could maybe just add cardboard on the top of the shelves to block the shirts from the light? So you don't have to move anything. Anything that could act as mini roofs ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

Ooo yeah or maybe a cute canopy hehe

[@vanessamacleoddesign]

@@KatnippStudios a little Italy inspired awning/canopy would look great (and harks back to your Katnipp Cafe idea from before)

[@josierose8889]

@@KatnippStudios I came to say that you could put up some cute curtains around the section you are worried about and they'd help keep dust off too 😊

[@discerninglight1998]

That's exactly what I was thinking....some kind of visor on the top of the shelf. Congrats on the new space!🙌🕊

[@makailynlester8795]

@@KatnippStudiosput a garment curtain or cover over that shelf 😊

[@zoekennedy011]

Dean zoning out is the funniest 😂

[@Lime_A]

@6:22 either store them in boxes or cover the entire shelf unit with fabric (like a curtain) to block the sun

[@ellissykes7133]

for sun protection you can get film for windows that museums use to prevent fading

[@catalina_corvette]

This is my favorite kind of content - i love watching people organize lol. For your giftwrap, what about a large format paper organizer like they have in scrapbook shops? I use those to organize all my sticker paper and vinyl. It give you structure and you can still add separators so you can put multiple kinds of paper in each slot.

[@LittleKikuyu]

I love the studio!! But it was hard focusing, cause that MTV shirt mesmerzized me. 🤣Total 90s vibes 💖It looked awesome on you! 😻

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Hey there Catherine! I guess I have to pipe up from the peanut gallery out here! About your giftwrapping? Why not search for flat file drawers? Or even baker's racks with trays? then you can store flat products on wheels!!! Flat Drawers can be pretty pricey as they are massive and heavy, being made of metal, so maybe try wooden organizers (which are just open-faced pull-outdrawers, really). You could likely make some of these with cardboard boxes too. I speculate it will not be so easy to access your gift-wrapping products as you have it (though I do agree having it on the flat shelves was not a good use of space and you did need another solution). Also to protect the clothing products from fading, why not get some UV mylar film to install on the inside of the skylights? Hope this helps! You were right to get things as organized as you can foresee, as much as you can, because you won't want to work and reorganize once you have to deal with orders again. You are certainly getting professional experience moving shop! All told, you all have done a bang-up job with your move into the new space. It's so great to watch your business grow! Dean and Mike are real troopers and deserve medals! I hope you shower them with your appreciation. Truly you have a great set up and you are so fortunate. I wish you an bountiful and auspicious ramp-up in your new digs! Cheers from California 💌

[@charlottemcintosh1053]

For the shelves with clothing and soft toys, you could get those cupboard door add ons for those particular shelves in ikea and then add a bit of mfd on the top so they’re protected better from the sun!

[@sarahsworld-2240]

So cute 🥰 love the bumble butt wall paper idea it can be wall decal so it’s easy to take off the wall I can’t wait for the next video yay I’m so excited 🥰💖💖💖💖💖

[@KatnippStudios]

Heheh that would be so cute amirite 😂😂❤

[@Samantha_tookey197]

You can get UV vinyl for the windows, you’ll still have the light but produce won’t be damaged x

[@overly.chromatic]

You can spray plastic tubs with a frosted uv protectant spray paint to keep the colors safe! That's how I store my sneakers :)

[@KeShiKzumi]

maybe try paper trays to hold the gift wrap. You can get different sizes and different number of shelves

[@auntkrispy]

For the wrapping paper... you could get some of those clear plastic stacking drawers to keep it neat and organized. That would still allow you to put something on top of it if you wanted to. Love the new bright office space!

[@malvernminiatures]

Regarding the sun bleaching you could use curtains on the shelves and close them when it’s really sunny and open when it’s not just an idea

[@ChristyReads]

if you end up not loving having all the gift wrap stacked directly on top of each other, you could get stackable A3 filing trays to hold it all! all the organisation is making my brain super happy and the vlogs are going to be so bright moving forward, exciting!!! 🎀🫶

[@charlotteg3969]

I have a paper organiser. It’s like a4 boxes that slot into a frame. Takes hardly any room. Perfect on top of a desk.

[@misalisa256]

16:34 For the wrapping paper try using a file folder! Google - Vertical Organ Pack Examination Paper Storage Multi-Layer File Folders

[@nancyasberry8458]

A bungee cord would work well to keep the Gingy's from escaping. For the wrapping paper, you may be able to get a cardboard "shelving" unit made just for paper like that.

[@Jmdgopaul]

I love your content sooo much. I look forward to your videos every Thursday! We have the lighting issue in our home in our kitchen from around 4pm so we put window cling on (secure with a bit of water and apply like vinyl) in like a frosty white. It really keeps the area bright but not direct “burning” sun light. This might be worth looking at to keep the studio bright but stopping any sun bleaching of your products. We got ours from Amazon. Hope this idea helps

[@andreajlmoore]

Oh, such a pretty shirt Catherine…I love the green leaves with the bright pink flower. Looks so nice on you! I am sure you will love being in this new studio. All the natural light will be so uplifting!

[@conscious-euphoria]

Every time you move you come up with even better solutions for the space! The packing supply area is SO smart. Hopefully will be a game changer!!

[@manacrafts7555]

Deans so funny zoning out !!! 😂my husband does that on a daily💖 The Studio looks an amazing space 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ck2d]

The gift wrap - put them in file folders so they can stand up and use a bookend behind them to keep them from flopping over.

[@devotedmomof7]

You could put cute awning above the affected shelves so that you still can enjoy the sunlight throughout without it shining on the items. Like a canvas stripe on simple dowel rods - one mounted on the wall and one dowel on the top shelf edge.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

ohhh this is like organisation heaven :) love the new space ! love all the boxes lol your own label stickers would be perfect

[@CristinaRiveraBeauty]

Lol we all need to give ourselves a pep talk like you did, lol. " I'm a strong independent woman, I can do it myself" 💪

[@carpediemdoesdiamondpainting]

You could get one of those pigeon hole thingies for the gift wrap.

[@camsmyth101]

You could put the clothes in dark colour tubs ( Maybe pink) and print a picture and tape it to the front of whats in the tub.

[@kellyscraft6481]

U could put a blind over the window or like the frosted glass stickers to block the uv from damaging but ud still get the light x

[@k-poplove7643]

for the wrapping paper, maybe try something like a paper tray and each design or a few can be on each tray shelf.

[@KatnippStudios]

That’s a good idea! I need to find one that fits heeh ❤

[@CheekyMissy]

A great storage solution for your gift wrap would be the Kvissle letter tray from Ikea or something similar!

[@kerenvalentin7082]

Congratulations, so proud of you!! You're doing amazing. You can get UV Resistance greenhouse film, last up to 4 years. There clear rolls so you can cut them to size for the top shelves, or UV fabric. Make curtains... LOL. Have a wonderful rest of your week & weekend.

[@MsDaudur]

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, I super appreciate you using cardboard storage containers and wooden shelves. Some artists/creators I watch only use really thick plastic containers. Then they try to not use plastic when they’re shipping out products and I’m just like GIRL, do you even realize how much plastic there is in those thick heavy duty plastic containers you buy in bulk?! I know we all use some plastic, it’s inescapable, but I just really appreciate the cardboard storage! Rant over, just wanted to share this thought. 😂

[@ellieross5204]

Hey! With the clothing storage in the studio, maybe you can get a material cover for the storage unit to block the sun out, that’s what I would do 🩷 xx

[@maep6422]

My organization brain is drooling.

[@sassypackratstudios361]

Your new studio is looking so good! I love the organizational tips you gave as I’m currently redoing my studio.

[@hiddentidesgaming]

What about making templates of the shelves and their size to lay out first that way you don't have to move them a ton to figure out where it'll fit best? Like sheets of paper taped together to make the shape what area it fills up on the ground? It would help your backs so much. For the plushies being on the shelves, try to get yourself some bungie straps that will hook into the holes and allows you to stretch it out to grab one our without everyone falling off!

[@MsRinda]

Hook on each side of the shelf, piece of fabric with an eyelet/loop on each corner, bam, makeshift curtain you can easily take down during packaging days :) I've seen people recommend UV blocking film for the skylights. I've heard some horror stories of damaged windows from overheating if the film is applied to the inside of the window, so be sure to double-check that you're getting the correct type that's supposed to go on the inside! (unless you wanna climb on the roof 😂)

[@fuzzydragons]

def looks like a brighter place to work and its coming together 😀

[@HudmanChrissy]

love your organization solutions...why is other organizing so satisfying

[@tinkerandteal]

I swear I laughed uncontrollably when you were "rambling" and stated "dean slowly losing the will to work anymore...questioning his life choices" I feel like thats so me when im explaining a project i had in mind to my husband and hes staring off into space contemplating his life choices LOL....

[@tinkerandteal]

US creatives and our ideas, projects, etc.. and what our spouses have to put up with LOL.... poor guy lol

[@scarletsongstress450]

If you want to do something aesthetic maybe you could do a little cardboard cafe style overhang? Like with a little scalloped edge to protect from the light. I can totally see one in a pink and white stripe

[@mrs.quills7061]

The index divider with the die cut stickers is super smart! I just keep mine in separate bags, but this is way smarter.

[@Justin_W]

Congrats! A lot of great ideas and inspiration! I love to see how you three get on so well and everyone has a valued input! For the sun-bleaching, you could get UV film for the skylights, or perhaps put sheets of UV film over where the clothes are, sort of like a UV curtain of sorts. That way you can still see the items, they are protected, and you don't have to open bins each time you have an order. I have no idea if that will work...I'm just thinking outloud. Haha! You could also buy sheer UV curtains that will prevent fading from the light and you could make it look like you've got windows where your products are. I'm sure you could make it really aesthetic... But probably the easiest solution is UV film for your skylights! 🤣 All the best in your new space!

[@curicuri218]

tissue paper organization: what about trying to use Construction Paper Storage? or something similar?

[@foxadeello]

Maybe some kind of folder system for the wrapping paper so you could stand them up

[@serenabrent8832]

Congratulations on the studio move. Could you get some UV window blinds put up to protect your stock, and how about a curtain/shower rail so you could draw a curtain across in front of your sweatshirts? 🙂

[@augustatkinsonillustration5341]

I'm so glad you're moving to a bigger studio

[@Jenxiaris]

For your wrapping paper. If they are a4 in their current folded state you could put them in magazine files. That’s what I do with all my card for craft making

[@EsmayCreates]

Definitely watch out for sun damage! I've had some paper products get color damaged because of that and I'm in The Netherlands so similar weather conditions... The organizing looks so satisfying though :)!

[@hannahpeters9600]

You can buy UV film to put on the skylight. The light will still come through, but the UV rays that damage and fade the fabric will be blocked!

[@KatnippStudios]

OOooOoOoo thank you for this ❤❤❤❤😮

[@pinandinko1970]

lil canopies like on shops would look so cute on the shelves!

[@linzertube]

This was a lovely way to end my day…seeing you all moved in from the other studio. You all worked so hard! It’s going to be great! 💗🌸🥰

[@whitneykopsie9772]

Putting an uv sun shade film on the sky light will protect your stock but allow light in.

[@Phoenix-Risen416]

I was just thinking about the sun moving around the studio and your product getting sun damage. You could use some square or round doweling you can get in B&Q and then make like a piece of cotton material and make a hole on the top and bottom of the material to poke the dowelling through the slot and then secure them on the top of the units with the dowelling sticking out above the shelving with the material tight to give like a sunshade/awning over the shelves to give some shade to cover the shelves that hold the clothing. Or some thin room dividers that you can move around as the sun moves. Or the last idea was if you’re having tables running down the middle, to put the clothing stock underneath and use the table top to shade them 👍🏻

[@KatnippStudios]

OooOooo 😮😮❤ thank you for all the ideas I really need to think about this! ❤

[@tobecomeawitch]

Aaah the new studio already looks amazing! Maybe for the gift wrapping papers you can use one of those mailboxes that you can stack that you often see in offices (if you just google "document organizer office"' you'll kinda see what I mean haha).

[@punkyclozzy]

You could use inbox trays for the wrapping paper 😊

[@vanessarheadart9708]

Put a drop. Cloth cover on the front of the clothintsection, this will keep the sun and dust of them😊

[@casswilson3964]

Congratulations! 🎉 Another special milestone for your business.

[@rachelphillips3786]

I love the Gingie & Bumblebutt plushies! I would love, love, love a Puddin the dog plush! (just a suggestion for the future! 😄)

[@LL-ex1gp]

Dean is so funny in the background 😅 maybe you could get little curtains (or even fabric) to Velcro to the top of the shelves. It would block the sun and provide easy access. Could take off when it’s a gray day. Love your new studio! ❤

[@LL-ex1gp]

How cute would Katnipp fabric be for the shelves!?!? 🥰

[@susan_brehm_art]

I know this video took a lot of time to produce but it is so good!! The new studio is amazing. Maybe you could put a cute umbrella over the tee shirts? Idk, might not be feasible. 😊 Looking forward to all the new ideas you'll come up with this year. ❤❤

[@HudmanChrissy]

put the clothes in plastic tubs (not see through) with images of what's inside taped to the outside keep off dust and keep from sun damage

[@danas986]

It's looking great so far! I'd probably get a storage unit with a door for the clothes. Not only for UV protection but also dust. But I do see why open shelves are more convenient. :)

[@renfairegoddess]

I think those are Ikea shelves. They might actually sell doors for them.

[@liyan00]

Maybe for the gift wrap, getting a paper shelf will work better as it will protect the stacks from all sides and will be easier to grab the ones at the bottom

[@nancye7520]

“Dean slowly losing the will to work here anymore…”😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@sammierahimi6553]

Hi, may I make a suggestion on the apparel? Perhaps an armoire they could go in and itncan be open during shipping, but close to protect from the sun.

[@nerdmommy7114]

“Maybe Dean should do this.” “I’m a strong independent woman” 😂😂😂 I feel that so much! Oh i can do this, then complains, then still pushes on 😂 Always love your vlogs ❤

[@hannahc..]

Another suggestion for the tshirts is the sortera bins from ikea. They're stackable with lids that have a flap at the front so will keep them out of the light/dust but will be accessible too 😊

[@hannahc..]

Also you can get A3 letter trays, would that be big enough for the gift wrap?

[@annavannoni]

Add a curtain rod/curtains on the shelves so it keeps the clothes from fading! Suggestion for you Catherine! ❤the new studio!

[@TykitFleine]

6:12 install a thermal curtain over them to protect them from the sun, as they will be damaged overtime if you leave them, better to prioritise your product quality than the aesthetic of how your space looks

[@TykitFleine]

Or you can install some type of "guard" around the sunlight so the sun can still come in but can't fully reach the edges and hit the stock, do you know what I mean? 😂😂

[@KatnippStudios]

I need to do something 😂❤

[@michellem4118]

Could you put a drape over the front of the clothes shelves with velcro tags so you can roll them up and habe tabs to hold them rolled up.. then when you don't need to be in the clothes it could be closed ?

Hi Katnipp!! I’ve been checking on you for years to see how you’ve been doing and what you’ve been up to and I have a more personal question for you today that I hope doesn’t offend you. I’m overweight and I know you’ve lost weight while having your persona on KZbin. I’ve always wanted to have a creative channel but have always felt like I’m in progress (I’ve lost some weight but I’m not where I want to be yet). I’m so nervous to make videos as I am now. Did you ever feel that way before making videos? If you did, how did you overcome it? If you didn’t, then I’m really glad for you because I wouldn’t wish this nervousness for you. I’ll always be rooting for your success 🫡
