These are a few tags that I made using some of the plastic snowflakes I found in a charity shop last week for £1.50 for a huge bag full.
The tags measure approximately 4ins x 2ins and are hand cut from a sheet of navy card. In the centre I added a mat and layered panel using a Craft Creations paper – Snowflakes on Dark Blue (SR065P) that I have had for years, on silver mirror card, the original price said 40p!
I made up two snowflakes, taking a smaller one and gluing it onto a larger one and then adding a flat backed gem in the middle to add dimension and then glued them both onto the panel, adding a silver corner peel off and two sets of three peel off dots, for extra bling.
This year I am loving Bakers/Butchers twine ….. and can’t believe how it just brings the whole tag together and makes it look doubly, doubly, Christmassy.
They're gorgeous! You're right, the twine is perfect on these tags.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen. Great tags. You can't go wrong with dark blue and snowflakes. Yes, butchers twine is the perfect finishing touch to so many Christmas pieces isn't it! Take care.
