I made these tags a couple of months ago. I have a box of scrap paper that was starting to explode so I just started playing and came up with these cute little tags. I used punches on some, but most are just random scraps of paper glued together. I ended up making about 150. But then I didn't know what to use them for so I ended up putting them away in a drawer.
When I did my craft show in December I wrapped people's purchases in plain brown lunch bags and punched a ribbon through the folded top and tied on one of my biz cards. If it was a gift I gave them a gift card that they could use in place of the biz card.
At my next craft show I used them for my earrings. I just punched two little holes in them with a slot punch and hung the earrings from them. Looked cool and the bits were colorful enough to make people stop and look at them.
They're about 2" x 1.5". I cut the bases out first then I just laid them on the table and pulled out some random scraps of decorative papers and started layering. It was fun. I couldn't use any full sheets of paper, just scraps. Of course, that was probably no limitation. I mean, I made over 100 and I have enough to make probably 1000 more!
I've also used them as covers for tiny accordion books. I'm trying to think of more uses. Any ideas?
Thanks Stefani! Great Idea!
