Gingham Jar Kraft Tags

Today I have fiddle farted with some Kraft gift tags ………
Gingham Jar Tags. CraftsThey 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

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.

  2. 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!

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.
