I love making tags to go on the outside of gift bags. I think a vintage looking tag looks great hanging down from the handles of a kraft bag. Paper Maniac has everything you need to get started, if you would like to try some tags. Tags are inexpensive to make, and lots of fun! I love the Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps line. They have so many cool vintage images that are easy to cut out and glue down on your altered projects. I started out covering my tag with some DP from Melissa Francis. I inked the edges with my distress inks, and then added my cut out images. I punched some little stars to go along with my moon, and added some stickles.
At the bottom of my tag, I punched some holes and then looped my jump rings through. I then added a crystal bead to each ring. You can tie some ribbon or twine at the top of your tag. I used hand dyed seam binding and crochet thread.
I hope I have inspired you to try making some tags! Thanks for stopping by!

How cute! Love what you did with the vintage image. (One of my favorite things to work with.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cool vintage tag, Emily! I love the idea of using these with a plain kraft gift bag. No more need to buy gift bags in *every* color--just an excuse to MAKE some gorgeous tags (in *every* color). Love it :)
