Welcome to the Crate Paper Autumn Blog Hop. Thank you for stopping by my blog, today. I have a quick tutorial to share on making a "thankful" tag. This tag is a reminder for me to be thankful for each day, to live in the present and to let go of past regrets and future worries.
Crate Paper Supplies Used:
- Restoration Paper - Doilies
- Restoration Chipboard Accents
- Restoration Brads
- Restoration Phrase Stickers
- Snow Day Phrase Stickers
- Snow Day Brads
Other:
- Mania Tag (2.5 x 4.5")
Step 1. Start with a plain manila tag to use as the base.
Step 2. Use scissors to cut out 10 of your favorite doilies from the Doilies paper.
Step 3. Cut each doily to a quarter of the size.
Step 4. Ink each doily and curl the edges forward.
Step 5. Start at the top of the tag (the part with the hole) and layer each doily working down to the bottom of the tag.
Step 6. When you are finished adhering, turn the tag over and trim away the edges. I left mine cut straight at the top instead of cutting the corners as on the original tag.
You can see here that the tag has a lot of fun texture with the layers and the bent edges.
Step 7. Use embellishments to decorate to your preference.
There are a lot of ways you can use your tag. You can add someone's name and use it as a place setting on Thanksgiving. You can add it to the top of a present, as part of a card or even on a scrapbook layout.
Be sure to save the letter above, then head back over the the Crate Paper Blog to continue on your hop for your chance to win! Thank you for spending time on my blog!
