Holiday Project – Handmade Tags – Transparency

A few months ago, I made some handmade tags for Julie’s handmade for the holidays series. There were six tags and one set of downloads. I will post all of them one at a time during this week.

For all my tags I used manila tags I bought at Office Depot. You can always cut your own tag from cardstock and punch a hole as well.

Here are the steps to this simple tag:
1. I wanted to stamp on a transparency because I love the unique look it creates. When you do this, you need to make sure you use the rough side of the transparency.
2. I used a big script stamp I had and stamped using Statz-on ink.
3. Then I grabbed three different colors of felt. Two shades of green and one brown. I cut two triangles and one stump. I gently glued the pieces to the transparency so it stayed in place.
4. I then stitched around my tree.
5. I glued on some round beads for ornaments and a star sticker on top.
6. I covered my star with some distress stickles.
7. Finally, I added Merry Christmas with tiny alphabets and stitched them in place.

Supplies Used: Red Statz-On Ink, The Girls’ Paperie Tinsel and Twig Sticker Market, Antique Linen Distress Stickles, beads, felt, script stamp, transparency.
