5 Minute Etsy Shop Improvements and Tips - Rearranging your shop

5 Minute Etsy Shop Improvement #2

Rearranging your Etsy shop

Hey everyone,

Hope that you found last week's Etsy tip on making your URL shorter and neater helpful. If you missed it you can find it HERE.

Today I wanted to show you how to rearrange your shop. Did you know that you don't have to have your shop listed by date you listed order but you can rearrange it to any order you would like?

This is useful if you have a larger shop, a shop with a variety of different items or if you just prefer the look of a shop which has been ordered in some way. I rearrange my shop because I sell such a variety of different items so I like to group them together in lines. I feel it makes my shop flow better and looks more attractive to browse.

How to rearrange your shop

First you need to enable this on your shop. This is super quick and easy to do.

1)Log into your Etsy shop.

2) Click on 'Your Shop' on the top right hand side of the screen

3) A drop down menu will appear. Go down to 'Shop Settings' and then click 'Options' in the sub-menu which appears

4) This will take you to the Shop Options page. Click the option which says ENABLED and make sure you then scroll to the bottom of that page and hit SAVE

5) It will then take you back to the top and say that your option has been saved. Click on the link just above 'Enabled' which says 'Rearrange your shop'

6) You will now be taken to your shop where you can drag and drop to rearrange. Remember to hit save after you are done.

Pro-tip (Oh how I wish I had discovered this sooner!)

When you rearrange your shop and select an item to go to a different page it will automatically take you to that page. It used to bug me like crazy and be quite time consuming if I needed to move a whole load of things from one page to another.

To prevent moving pages when rearranging click SHIFT on your keyboard as you move the object to another page. This will prevent it changing which page you are on.

Cute tutorial to make your own crop top out of leggings!

Hello everyone,

I have been going through my wardrobe giving it a sort out and also bought some new summer outfits. I have lots of leggings which I no longer wear so was really pleased that I found this video before I got rid of them! I now can have lots of cute crop tops for summer instead of going out and buying them. I loved how quick and easy this tutorial was so thought I would share it with you all so you can all recycle your leggings and have cute crop tops this summer too!

Style Saturday: Tropical Getaway - Palm Print and Pink

Hello!

Lots of you are packing your bags and off on your holidays/ vacations soon so for my Style Saturday this week is this gorgeous palm print and pink fashion inspiration. You often see palm print paired with browns and khaki so this makes a really lovely change, updates the look and feels much more pretty and summery. This outfit could be worn with flats in the day with the sun hat to keep you cool and with the satchel for your water, suncream etc and for the evenings the beautiful pink heels, clutch bag and a hair up would make this outfit look super sophisticated. You could add to this outfit big sunglasses and perhaps a chunky necklace.

Are you off on your holidays? What outfits are you packing and what are your holiday essentials? Please let me know in the comments section below

Wedding season is HERE!

Hello everyone,

Wedding season is here! There are lots of beautiful weddings happening at the moment and I have been working really hard making lots of tags for custom orders for brides and grooms for their big day. I have made a wedding themed Pinterest board with some of my favourite designs, products and inspiration for weddings. There is everything from dress to venues and cakes to wedding games on the board. I have also tried to include lots of Etsy sellers and makers as I love seeing other people's work. Please take a look and I hope you enjoy browsing through my board. I am adding new pins on there all the time.




Follow The Dorothy Days's board The Dorothy Days// Weddings on Pinterest.

Hope that you enjoyed having a look.

Tutorial: Homemade Strawberry Leather Rolls Recipe - Perfect for Craft Fair snack!

Hello!

I have been searching for a while for lunch box snacks/ snacks on the go that I can make for when I am out and about or travelling so was happy to stumble across this tutorial for how to make leather rolls that are a bit like the 'Winders' rolls. They look fruity and delicious and perfect for a snack on the go! I thought these would be the perfect Craft Fair snacks. When at a craft fair I often skip meals as I am too busy to stop and have something to eat. You don't want anything messy as you might have to stop eating half way to help a customer so these would be a perfect little snack to keep you going. 

The tutorial is really easy and could be done the night before your Craft Fair.

Do you have a favourite snack or food which you take a craft fairs which is easy to eat?
