Wholesale, DTF Totes & Michael's Shopping

[@angiewarren6045]

I used to do Stampin’ Up and if you get a roller, and roll your ink onto the stamp, it should give you better stamped image. Because your surface area is so big, you need to get the ink evenly distributed on the stamp. Also if you don’t layer your boxes, only do one at a time on a hard surface, it will help make your image cleaner. I think single sided is good! It looks amazing! Don’t worry about the steam! It could just be the tote material. The tiny duckies make me think of your oil painting. Hope you have an awesome weekend!

[@MythkasMonsters]

Single sided on the tote ♥ Additionally the smoking you saw was more than likely steam. There is probably a tiny bit of moisture in the bag. I get that all the time when pressing shirts, unless it smells like burnt plastic or smoke, it shouldn't be anything to worry about.

[@memoatelier]

I was going to say the same thing, it's steam from the moisture in the fabric.

[@KennedyH22]

I think single sided for the tote bags. I LOVE the bunny on the inside pocket! It’s so cute!

[@stephaniefennell7837]

Something that may help with the stamping is to stamp them one at a time without a stack. That way there isn't give from the boxes under the one you're doing. I find anything being stamped directly on the table works way better. I also think single sided totes are best. I don't think I would ever care about it having a second side. Also, got my order in Tuesday and my friend loved her stuff as well!

[@CelilasArt]

just came to the comments to say this about the stamping 💕the lower the stack, the better the results were because she didn't have to fight against all the give of the stacked boxes.

[@Thatssomariahh]

I like single side with the inner patch love it!

[@abigailgurrusquieta3281]

I freaking LOVE the little image on the zipper pocket!! So freaking CUTE!!

[@Celions3]

For the stamp, I would definitely try to lay the individual box on the table rather than stamp while stacked. May still not be perfect but it's what I find works better! The steam on the tote bags could be moisture in the fabric since it was just in the closet under the stairs. Single sided design and inner pocket design is perfectly fine! I've been selling sublimation totes for years (now dabbling in dtf) and it's never been a problem for me or my customers

[@mariaescobar1359]

I stamp my boxes with that same kind of stamp! And I’ve noticed that the best way to do it is to ink the stamp pretty well and then stamp super fast. Rather than doing it slow and apply pressure, you do it fast and strong. The downside is that you don’t always stamp it in the middle…

[@laurenp5415]

I’ve been watching you for years and ive always wondered when the copic collection would be completed I can rest easy now lmao

[@kristibeisecker]

34:02 those carrots are pretty easy to make if you need more 'off season'. just wrap twine around an upside down cone and then fill the hole at the end with leaves.

[@brikhouse22]

You might want to stamp the box right on the hard table top, instead of on a pile of boxes, to get a better stamp. Also picking up the ink pad and tapping it on the stamp instead of putting the stamp onto the pad, you will get better coverage on the stamp.

[@DanaDiahann]

Hi Baylee!!! Have you thought about making your own scrapbook paper backgrounds? That way the could be exactly what you want 😊. Just something I thought of while watching you show the papers you got. Love your channel ❤

[@BayleeJae]

That's a good idea!

[@nicoler.5467]

Something that may help. .. so I stamp all of the boxes I use for orders and a rubber hammer is great for getting even pressure. Made the handle a bit wider on the stamp itself so you can hammer the stamp both in the ink pad and then on the box. Also use isopropyl alcohol to keep the ink pad moist and juicy! lol

[@SproutBell]

That seasonal decor tho!!! 💐 Can't wait to see how it comes together and it looks like you'd be able to get away with the 11 pieces. Best of luck getting that 2nd gift card to work 🩷 your cottage core vibes are coming together nicely

[@SakuraGrace]

How cute would pencil bags/make up bags with the flower crown bunny be??

[@lynnc4872]

Baylee, I haven’t been here in a bit and wanted to say that you look beautiful! It was so sweet when hubby walked up and kissed you. Hubby goals

[@Zalerinae0491]

I feel the same way you do during easter but for halloween, its my time to buy all the home decor!

[@bleach_pocky]

Was waiting for this notification while laying in bed sick. Happy Friday everyone!

[@TheCopperDoll]

Me: having a rough few days… Baylee: posts… Me: instant serotonin boost ❤

[@KarenP1939]

I live in Australia so shipping and the $$ change is something I have think about when buying from your shop. BUT the bag is something I really love so going buy one when you start selling them. Can’t wait!!

[@irinamutterperl2285]

In response to DTF bag, I think one sided is good enough. It looks so cute!

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

One sided bags are good. I would do the bunny on the bag! So cute.

[@GothicPhantomZero]

For the totes, maybe you could have a design on the front, a little extra design on the pocket, and the Baylee Jae wreath on the back.

[@untrabookenders]

I would go wilddddd for spiral bound dot or grid note books

[@AlvaroVillaArt]

I wonder if you could buy a small drill press and repurpose it to fit the stamp insted of a hand drill. So then it makes it faster to stamp and so easier on the hands. I see Amazon has a lot of small ones that could work. Just an idea

[@Deanna_Parker]

For canada post - I think they are federal, they wouldn't get the provincial/civic holidays like family day/natal day(in NS)

[@flattfan162]

This is correct - it's my first year working for the federal government and we didn't get Family Day off because it's not a federal holiday

[@BayleeJae]

The holiday list on their website does show some regional holidays, including Natal day. But pretty much every province has a holiday that day. There are a few others though that are specific to Quebec or Yukon that other provinces don't have off.

[@lexzebra787]

I think single sided with the inner pouch is cute!!

[@hannahmarie3895]

The test tote is so cuteee I’m definitely setting a reminder for that store update when it’s announced. Kinda prefer single sided over double but that’s just my preference :)

[@scottcullen2832]

What about a large custom silicone stamp, that could be put on an acrylic block and then use a pressure tool? Better on the arms? ❤️❤️

[@lotusflowerpassion]

garlands look really pretty and bunny stuff is so cute, transfers on bag is so kool💖

[@LisaMarieFord]

I think the DTF transferred to the top like that is nearly perfect. You don’t want the gusset fold to be creased all the time or it will wear out much quicker. I didn’t do heat press on totes, but I did iron on before.

[@ellyonart_]

Hey Baylee, I am using stamps on my boxes and what I do, I usually stamp the box one by one, I find that the more stacked I have, the less pressure and ink it has. So I usually have a pile on the side, while stamping one at a time.

[@timainwhitewolf]

Single side tote with small image on the inside would be my vote. Loved how the tote looked!

[@MysticFeathers]

Yay new Baylee video! Also baylee if the card doesn't get fixed the employer can imput the card number and put in a date in the future as the expire date we did that at my store all the time when gift cards wouldn't swipe :)

[@BayleeJae]

The employee said my only option was to call support 😭

[@PiruuMi]

@@BayleeJae Did they not manually type in the number? Because this stuff happens all the time at Michaels with our gift cards. (Usually its a very specific gift card that has this issue... the cursed red ones) But sometimes the swipe strip magintazation just goes out on the cards. Unless it says "INVALID CARD" Or just plain declines it's a pretty easy fix for swipe Errors. (BTW I work at a Michaels in Canada) Also BTW you can return the stuff and buy it back on the gift card. People do that all the time.

[@charlarp]

I love the tote idea! Especially love the black canvas, can’t wait to see the designs you come up with!

[@JJBabbles]

16:36 I cannot get over how cute the BunBun transfer looks on the pocket! 🥹🥹🥹 It would look adorable on a make-up bag/pencil case/ pouch type thing too 🥰

[@amberford5658]

You both are so precious💗💗

[@icywolfmeow7980]

When are you going to do more diamond art??

[@holospiders]

Oh I am so excited at the idea of those big tote bags with a zipper pouch! I’m a costume design university student and big tote bags like that are a lifesaver for art supplies and my sewing stuff, I’d love a luna moth one 💕

[@NutCase]

1 side with inner flap! I think that's a great idea

[@fenixsilverbeams9310]

My order is on the way, thank you, I have been following several years and thank you..❤

[@jesscgirl101]

Stamp looks great even with patchy parts looks hand done. 😊

[@tiffie7]

Loving your art and vlog. I’ve been watching your channel for over a year. Placed an order for a bunch of your bags. Don’t worry. I’ll be gifting them to friends and family.

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you so much!

[@angeliqueross9960]

I really hope the strawberry hoodie chocolate color will be back in stock as I love that color cause I want to get it with the sleeves done on it. :)

[@landimonk]

That bag is cute! If you do a witch hat tote, I would so buy!

[@scottcullen2832]

Yes to all sketches I started that route when I learned the Caio weren’t available in all colours I’m nowhere near finished but the aesthetic is good ❤️❤️😂😂😂

[@alejandragomez499]

Got my first order!!!! Loved everything 😍 have been watching your channel for a while and finally decided to order a bunch of stuff. It arrived on my B-Day and made the day extra special! Thank you very much ❤

[@BayleeJae]

I'm glad you like everything! Happy belated birthday! 😁

[@tina7151]

I had the same problem with my corrugated boxes. I had to like "chest compression" it to have a solid line. Now my boxes has embossed stamp. Haha

[@Usedtobeagrl]

Single side bag!

[@madisoncraven6819]

Just sat down to eat, happy to be here 😄

[@rosemarywright9485]

Just seeing the tote bag and thought about you doing your logo/adatar in the same size as those strawberries with something like that stamp around your avatar and your name at the bottom.

[@elisecharlenefineart]

The ceramic pot would make a perfect painting water pot, because you can use the scalp design to hold your brushes!

[@bc7848]

I could watch your vlogs all day!

[@carolumyi4768]

The transfer looks great on one side of the tote. One side of the tote is less work than two sides.

[@sarahlynnstudios]

I love the stamp design! The majority of the totes I own only have a design on one side.

[@hannahtilley6704]

Would you ever consider making letter sweaters to sell? It looks so cute

[@BayleeJae]

No, because it would take all day to make one. I did it over 2 days and had to hoop the shirt at least 16 times.

[@faeclough3823]

You could take off the handle on stamp and swap it for more of a block, that way you could either use a rubber mallet or can apply pressure more evenly :)

[@christie7252]

Hey, for your stamping remover the handler and use a stamp glider tool on the wooden mount. Easier on your arms and better impression. Too bad you could not use a stamp platform that would allow you to go back in for bad impressions with exact placement. Also, you should check out Lawn Fawn papers, I think they have several to match your vibe :)

[@DebbyLong777]

I love the design on black.

[@liekkivalas]

i think single side is good for the totes, most if not all my existing totes are single-sided

[@happyklownCA]

35:50 I’ve looked at that pot every time I’ve gone into micheals and passed on it now you’re making me want to go back and finally get it 😭

[@happyklownCA]

update : went to micheals today and got the last one that just so happened to be 60% off 🥹🥹

[@ChantelleArts]

Thank you for the video Baylee, you are such an inspiration ☺☺☺

[@augustatkinsonillustration5341]

Baylee, where you get your stamp?

[@BayleeJae]

Zazzle

[@Moosestacheification]

If you can't find palette knives you like, I wonder if cheese knives might have some smaller options that would work?

[@kellalafaire8534]

Strawberry crown bun?! 🥺

[@CloverWoodss]

I suggest standing up and only having one box on the table so it isn’t squishy from each box layer :0 might work out better!

[@casscutting1573]

I worked for JoAnns and had a friend who worked for Michael's both companies have the same rules they can type in the number and it should work.

[@AngelaHesterBooks]

Edited after seeing the other comments. Sorry for the duplicate suggestion! Baylee, I think you'll have better luck with the stamp if you don't have it on a stack of boxes. It will stamp more even if the space under it is firm.

[@jelly.puddin]

i work at michaels and watching you go through all the isles that i stock at my store (seasonal stuff) gave me ptsd LOL its cute tho haha

[@jessbutterfly1934]

Baylee there’s another artist on KZbin. Her name is Amy from Winterwoods studio. She just had a serious issue with kopek sketch markers with the lids, not closing properly on one of the ends. She bought a whole heap and they were about a year old and they had been put away in a Ziploc bag in it temperature controlled room, and some of them had either completely dried out or one and had dried out, I think you should definitely check that this hasn’t been an issue for you to because she has well over 150+ dollars in unusable markers.

[@TimothyKhalaux]

Yaaay a Baylee video!

[@nyxcordell6112]

I haven't finished the video but wanted to say I've been wanting you to wholesale for ages - purely because it would make your products more accessible to countries like Australia. I haven't been able to order anything because of the shipping cost and I try to buy locally... but I would totally purchase your products wholesale so I can get them to more fans here :)

[@aleenakhan6230]

Would it maybe be easier to dip a roller in paint and to role the roller over the stamp to coat it? It might be easier on your arms and hands since you probably wouldn't have to press as hard when stamping

[@juliasmith2892]

Stand up when your inking and stamping and it will be more even x

[@vanessarheadart9708]

You need to ask yourself if the time Christian took away from the embroidery room to do the stamping would be better spent producing more sweatshirts for sale?

[@BayleeJae]

He has a lot of downtime while the machines are running.

[@BoosGaming1]

Not a Cliffhanger! 😭 I was so invested in the Garland drama 😂

[@A41Leslie]

Single side because I wouldn't want the design to rub against my clothing.

[@elizabethbanks6076]

One sided with the zipper pocket will look adorable! If a Luna moth design comes up, I will slam my debit card.

[@Agentmg17]

Don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but maybe stamping on a large lable? It would be a lot flatter. & I it comes in a roll... maybe faster to stamp.

[@amb-z]

All of my totes have single sided designs, I think single is fine!

[@123rozypozy123]

Luna moth tan beach totes that are larger than the black one?

[@adelaalvarado2215]

I’d put it on my website under clearance or overstock , for those who live on a strict budget but love cute artistic items, that may be a better idea for you, like you said that would keep it from getting sold by other people ..That’s what i suggest. Love your art …

[@BayleeJae]

The duckie planner pads & Christmas washi will definitely get marked down to clearance eventually. The same thought crossed my mind, which is why I decided against wholesale for those items.

[@alisonhutson7398]

Hello, just came back to add a thought to my previous comment, but it looks like the comment disappeared. Just a few thoughts from a crafter with way too many craft supplies and ink pads. You may want to try the Archival Jumbo Ink pad in Vermilion by Ranger Ink. That may appear on the dark pink spectrum when stamped on a Kraft colored box. Also you may want to look at the Tim Holtz Oxide Ink pad Re-inkers (also made by Ranger) to ink a custom made Iarge ink pad. His Oxide Ink pads are an opaque ink that would work on your boxes. There are a range of pink shades that may work for what you want or you could mix re-inkers to create a custom color. You can also order direct from Ranger if they will ship to Canada. Also if you want a softer ink pad, look for one that is a felt ink pad versus a foam pad.

[@alisonhutson7398]

I forgot to add that the only downside I can think of to the Oxide ink is that it is not a waterproof ink whereas the archival ink is. But that should be a minor concern since its not very lilkely that the inside of the boxes would get wet.

[@BayleeJae]

Thanks for the info! I'll look for the original comment when I'm on desktop (using my phone right now). It might have been "held for review."

[@BayleeJae]

Aww, so kind of you!

[@trehs98]

I’d want a tote with the bunny head

[@cmf1267]

the stamp will work better if you stamp the box on the table or hard surface - don't put other boxes under the box you are stamping.

[@helloimme2480]

Maybe someone said it, but what about embossing instead?

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

May I ask why you are using the pressing pillow? I’ve been doing this for a few and have never used one .

[@BayleeJae]

Because of the bulk of the straps & gusset.

[@jennyyy2813]

Will all the tote bags be black or will there be the canvas color option?

[@BayleeJae]

It depends on the design. Some might be one colour only, and some might have 2 options.

@@BayleeJae gotcha! 😁 I’m excited for them

[@_JoyceArt]

I’m wheezing at Midna hanging half out of her bed with her legs splayed out like that!😂

[@Natuwu7]

I think the stamp would look better on the outside of the box

[@BayleeJae]

The shipping label goes on the outside, so there's not enough room to stamp. The outside already looks good because of the custom tape. The inside is what could use a little extra colour.

[@juliashepherd1364]

The smoke is usually moisture that wasn't pressed out before.

[@theemoturtle2019]

i use to work with DTFs and ironing them on t-shirts, all that "smoke" is actually WATER VAPOR being boiled off. (according to my old boss at least)

[@brikhouse22]

Making heat transfer things makes me nervous because I'm always worried they're not gonna last. I ordered a shirt about 5 or so years ago and the picture peeled completely off. I've only made heat transfer vinyl cut on my Cricut but I worry everytime if they're gonna last past washing.

[@BayleeJae]

There are several types of transfers. Vinyl is not very durable. DTF is very durable.

[@karyfrancisco1383]

You have to know what you're working with and care for the item accordingly. All screen prints - which is essentially what dtf transfers are, inks on transfer sheets - and vinyl have the ability to wear over time. Vinyl and generic/standard transfers do better on cotton and thicker, spongier material - there's more for the graphic to 'grab'. You need different vinyl and ink transfers for polyester blends. DTF and screen transfers do well on a broader range of material because the graphic is still porous in a way because of the inks, so there's more flexibility than a solid piece of vinyl. And above all, shirts with graphics that are adhered to the surface of the fabric need proper care. Harsher and hotter wash cycles can degrade any material, heated dry can degrade the material. Any corner is an opportunity for peeling. My care instructions for my shirts always include 'wash inside out in cold water, hang dry only'. I've had vinyl last years - my oldest test shirt is 5 years old. I've also purchased screen printed shirts (think band tees at shows etc) that have flaked away after one year.

[@fluegelding66]

single sided an flap is perfect i guess
