✂️ Behind the Scenes: How Your Custom Orders Come to Life

A peek into the process at Crafts by Lily

Ever wonder what goes into making your custom keychains, tags, and party pieces? It’s not just about cutting and packaging—it’s a whole process filled with creativity, care, and a little chaos (especially when I’m juggling being a mom too!). Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how your orders come together from start to finish.

1. ✨ The Inspiration Starts with You

Each order starts with you. Whether it’s a name, theme, or a full party vibe, I take your ideas and begin sketching the vision in my head. You might send me colors, fonts, or just a message that says “I want something cute for my daughter’s birthday!” and from there, the magic begins.

2. 🎨 Picking the Perfect Materials

I go through my collection of acrylics, vinyls, ribbons, charms, and more to find the perfect combo for your order. I test color pairings and textures until everything looks just right—because even the tiniest detail matters!

3. 💻 Design & Prep

Once your vision is clear, I use design software to create your custom file. Whether it’s a name keychain, tag, or sign, this is where the details come to life—font choices, sizing, layering, and layout. After your approval (if needed), it’s ready to cut!

4. 🔥 Time to Cut + Assemble

Using my laser machine or hand tools (depending on the project), I cut, layer, and assemble each piece. This is where your item physically comes to life—every bow tied, every charm attached, and every letter aligned just right.

5. 📦 Quality Check + Packaging

Before anything ships out, I double-check every piece for perfection. Then comes one of my favorite parts—packaging! I wrap your items with love, care, and a little flair to match the Crafts by Lily brand.

6. 💕 Shipped with Love

Off it goes! Whether it’s a pickup, delivery, or mail-out, I hope every package brings a smile the moment you open it.
