You can download the tags from Bev's tutorial. They are blank except that "TO" is already in place, looking as if one had stamped it there. Then you add the horizontal blue lines and the vertical red lines by stitching with your sewing machine. Fun! Punch a hole in each tag, add a loop of bakers' twine, and you will be finished. You'll have a stack of very unique tags for your most special gifts.
Anyone can slap a to/from sticker on a gift and be done with it. But you could make a bunch of these right now, in summer, and have them ready for your Christmas gifting (although they would work for any occasion). Happy stitching!
Beautiful tags!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucie! Bev is full of good ideas, so if you've never visited Flamingo Toes, you will want to.
DeleteThat would be so cute on kids gifts. TFS!

DeleteI love paper crafts that have machine stitching on them - they take on a whole new look.
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they, Pamela? I enjoy using the sewing machine in paper crafting.
DeleteThanks for the reminder about your Christmas Blog Mrs T. I sat and read all the entries in one sitting. I love the tags...so cute and retro.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad you sat and read all the entries, Arlene, and that you enjoyed them. Relaxing for you, I hope.
