OK…. so I lied, I had a few HobbyCraft foil stickers still left over from the cards I made the other day ……
…… because I also wanted to make tags, using the Christmassy scraps I have left over from years past. The foil stickers are very bright and I wanted the rest of the tags to reflect that.
Each tag is 2.5 ins square and I have used a scalloped and plain circle punch to cut the mat and layering for the sticker and then lots and lots of faux stitching that eventually gave my fingers cramp!
I decided to make the tags look really “proper” by using my Cropodile to set an eyelet in the corner of each tag …….. but now ……. I bought some Woodware (I think) 3/16 eyelets but they just do not “set” half as well as the original ones that I got with said Cropodile, (the barrel of the eyelet seems longer and a tint bit thicker???)……. can anyone recommend any eyelets that might set any better without costing an arm and a leg????????
