Framed Snowmen Tags

Framed Snowman Tags
At last …. I have used up all the little wooden frames I have had for years, after foolishly buying in bulk. Originally they had a boat in the centre on  a wire and a sea shell, but I pulled them all apart and used all the boats, to be left with a pile of frames, aggghh.
Craft for Christmas Embellishments
I liked the snowmen for their naive style and as they were reduced to 72p for a pack of 8 last Christmas I snapped up a couple of packs at my local garden centre.

I’ve used a white gel pen to doodle patterns on the frame and made the background using scraps of pastel blue polka dot and white glitter paper, stuck on a Kraft card base.  When glued on and turned over I have handwritten the label, adding a bit of frou frou!
Back of Snowman Tag
All that was left to do then was to drill a hole and add a tie. Done and festively dusted!

    LOVING the snowmen tags. I have drawers of stuff I'm 'meaning to' get on with. I may just have been inspired to get a wriggle on...:)

    Cute snowman face and once again really versatile.....could hang on the tree, embellish a gift or stocking, or even be propped on a bookcase or mantle, or hung on a wreath or garland....could go on and on with endless ideas for this wonderful snowman in a frame....Dianne

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
