I was inspired by
Petit Filoux's tags that she had made by recycling a gift catalogue. I thought I would have a go at making some myself as I wasn't very impressed by the tags for sale in the shops.
These are tags in the making. The images are taken from various Christmas issues of magazines and gift catalogues too.
I love the snowy scenes but I think many of you would have had quite enough of those for now!
I used a luggage label as a template to draw around interesting portions of the pictures, and cut them out. I mounted the images onto some double sided white shirt packaging sprayed with adhesive.
A hole punch and string turns them into tags! They look really professional and much more original than anything you would find in the shops. Why not give it a go?

What a great idea! I usually make tags from the previous year's cards and cut them into shapes with pinking shears but this looks good fun I might have a go:)
