The cars came from, where else but Poundland …. and at 10p each where else could you buy an tag embellishment for that? The cars measure approx. 1.25ins x .50in.
I’ve used quite heavy Kraft card for the tag bases that measure 4.75ins x 2ins. and then added a strip of black for the road, using a white gel pen to add the road markings.
I then used my Crop-o-dile to set a gold eyelelet, and a black cord with matching pony bead as the tie.
The car needed to be attached to the tag with a good strong glue, so I decided that I my glue gun would be the best answer.
And that’s all there is to them. Something a bit different to put on a mans present perhaps (but not suitable for small children)
So pleased am I with the result that I will now be scouring the Poundshops of Wolverhampton for similar small toys that can also be used on other tags for other occasions ….. perhaps a tiny tea set for a Thank You for tea tag?????
Oh I love this idea! 3D thinking for your gift tags, and it's always extra hard for "boy things". Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
