https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/simple-gift-tags • Posted by Patricia Z.
I've always had a thing for making gift tags (stating the obvious?) so I decided to make another small series of them, like I did a few years back. Working on tags is fun because they are small and quick to make. They allow a lot of room for creative approaches and there really are no limits. That being said, I decided to constrain my approach by reducing the materials to a bare minimum. This will force me to create really simple ideas that... - anyone can approach - will use materials that everyone has (don't buy anything! use the scraps in your stash) - are easy for kids to tackle if they'd like to join you - can stay as is or can be launching pads for other ideas that you may have - are not necessarily just for the holidays
