They came about when I found the packet of small jar tags (below) in the reduced box in The Works. I had quite liked them at £1, but I liked them even more for 50p, but as you know, my new mantra is that a bargain is only a bargain if I do something with it/them almost straight away, I can’t afford to let anything languish in my drawers any more!!!!!
I used a sheet of slightly ribbed Kraft card for the tags. The scraps of paper used came from a Forever Friends 6” x 6” pad and I couldn’t believe that it included a gingham paper that matched the gingham lids of the jars perfectly.
I added doodled lines using a black fine liner pen on the back and front of the tag to mirror the lines on the jar
The blank label on the jar didn’t look right so I found an old packet of Paperchase flower stickers that fit perfectly and also looked good dotted here and there, again on the front and on the back of the tag.
I used all the tags in the packet, so including the Kraft card, stickers and scraps of paper I would say the tags cost approximately 25p each to make.

They turned out beautifully! These would be so nice on a gift of food items of some sort. I know they will be appreciated.
The tags are beautifully decorated, we have a branch of The Works but I usually forget to go in. It's on my list for next weekend now!
