I then drilled a small hole in the top corner of the tag, put a jump ring through it and then tied some red butchers twine so that the tags could be attached to a parcel or hung on the Christmas tree. The back was finished off by edging with a fine liner pen again, so that a greeting can be added when/if needed. Viola!
When I mess about trying to decide where to put the tiniest and most insignificant of flat back gem I call it Fiddle Farting, hence the name of the blog!!!

Craft Stick Christmas Gingerbread Men Tags
Not a lot to these tags made using mini craft sticks frames and self adhesive gingerbread men stickers.
These tags came about when I was just mooching through my Christmas box of bits and found some small craft stick frames that I had put together but didn’t know what to do with.
I then found the foam gingerbread men and started to wonder if I could put the two together ………
For me gingerbread men and gingham are a must together and fortunately I had some small scraps of red gingham card that fit perfectly at the back of the frame. From here, I knew where I was going with the idea, faux stitching using a black fine liner pen all round the frame edges
Next came the gingerbread man, followed by two tiny green buttons to sort of balance the design.

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.
these tags are great and will certainly sell well if you don't use them all yourself lol
