D.I.Y: handmade tags

After I saw Michelle's post about making her own christmas gift tags (such a clever little bunny!) I just HAD to have a go!

Hers were so gorgeous (and yes I know, minus a few tweaks mine are very similar) I used the same Text, tag shape and the same stamping technique as her. And I know if these tags were an essay I would have been caught out for plagiarism, but, they're not. And I'm sure with a lot of dedication going to Michelle she won't mind 'cause she seems so lovely!

Firstly I went to the local garden centre which has a craft corner in I picked up the following:

Card (It's a cream colour but the lighting was really bad, sorry!)

Ribbon

A stamp (christmas tree shape)

An ink pad

Little self-adhesive gems

A single hole punch

A glue gun (you could just use PVA if I'm honest!)

A pair of scissors

So heres how:

- I designed the shape and text* on Pages on my Macbook.

- Print the design onto the card & cut into shape with some scissors.

- Print your chosen stamp shape using the stamp & ink pad.

- Glue the ribbon around the bottom of the tags (mines all the way round)

- Punch a hole in the top of the card.

- Thread some more ribbon through the hole.
- Stick the little gems to the top of the tree.

*The two texts are called 'Caviar Dreams' and 'Pea Anna Banana'

& Voila! You have your very own hand made tags that you made for minimal costs that you would pay a fortune for anywhere else!
hmm..maybe me & Michelle should go into business?! hah.
