- Kashi box turned shipping box
Finally got around to shipping my Le Petit Prince shirt yesterday. The main delay—somehow I put this off for over a week after the shirt was purchased—besides midterms was that I couldn’t find a box that was the right size for my shirts and I hate being wasteful.
For the past few weeks, since learning how inefficient paper recycling is (quite inefficient, especially compared to other recyclable materials), I’ve been accumulating what has become an excessively large stack of boxes which formerly contained food (namely Annie’s pasta, Kashi granola bars, and Amy’s Indian microwave dinners). I used a small panel of a box to write care instructions on the Sagan shirt that I last sold, but other than that, I’ve just been shoving boxes into my screen-printing supplies box, which has stopped closing, as a result. Then I realized that I could just reuse those boxes for my shirts, since they are literally the exact size of my shirts (this actually kind of weirds me out, because it almost seems as if the boxes were designed for the shirts). So I took a Kashi box, turned it inside out so there wouldn’t be visible labeling, and wrote a Little Prince quote on one side and a little hippie note on another, with care instructions and a ‘thank you’ note written on separate strips of Annie’s pasta boxes inside.
Ich bin das überhippie.
Now that I think about it, I also need to get on designing our Libertarian Longhorns, UT YAL, and UT Youth for Ron Paul shirts. I guess that means I also need to buy a whole lot of yellow, red, and black ink… Blergity blerg blerg.
