Hanging Packaging Tutorial for Bandanas/ETC

Hey there!
Something I've struggled with is a sustainable way to package my bandanas for markets. Also, I'm always trying to do things myself, so when I made a purchase and saw the simplicity of the package, I recreated it and made this tutorial. I hope it helps you with your packaging needs and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Also, I'd love to see your finished packages when they're done!
     Stay Strange,
