Today I have some simple gift tags to show you. When it comes to making gift tags you really want something that isn't complicated and can be put together fast.
Materials used:
- White card
- Tag shaped die (Cuttlebug)
- Green and red striped patterned paper (Rosie's Studio)
- Red dye ink (Archival Vermilion)
- A 'To', 'From' and 'Merry Christmas' stamps
- White thread
- Buttons
First I cut the tag using the die, the die I used was longer than I wanted so I just trimmed the paper down before I die cut it. I then arranged the stamps in the layout I wanted on top of one of the tags then picked them up at the same time with my block so I could stamp them all at the same time and keep the same spacing for all my tags.
After stamping the tags I cut 2cm wide strips from my patterned paper and applied adhesive to the back. Using my grid mat for reference I adhered the paper to one of the tags and used my scissors to trim off the over hang which I then used on the next tag and so on. I threaded some of the white thread through the button and placed a piece of double sided tape to the back and adhered it in the middle of the patterned paper. Turning the tag over I taped down the thread to fully secure the button. To finish the tag I added a length of the white thread through the hole at the top.
This tag is great for mass producing as there is only a few different elements and each one is simple to execute.
See you tomorrow!
