Friday, 14 December 2012
Edit
Yesterday I mentioned I was going to present you lot how I made these gift tags - too good hither it is every bit promised. It's super tardily too actually non a DIY but perchance to a greater extent than on the idea/inspiration side of things? Making a gift tag is fairly simple, inwards fact I've been known to but freehand cutting 1 when I'm inwards a pinch, but if you'd similar to brand 1 that looks a piffling to a greater extent than exceptional –grabbing a template too around overnice carte du jour stock is a adept piffling draw a fast 1 on too 1 I used for my Mom's gift this year. I never actually thought close templates until lately too forthwith I'm wondering what I did without them.
Materials I used:
X-ACTO Designer Series Basic Shapes Template
X-ACTO's Designer Series self-healing mat
Scissors
Gripster Crafting Knife
Black Card Stock (I recycled the dorsum of the X-ACTO templates packaging - nice, black, shiny - variety of carte du jour stock similar - perfect)!
Calligraphy Painter Marker (White)
What I did:
After choosing a size from the dissimilar template choices, I traced the incorrect side of the dark carte du jour stock (which was white on the other side) too and thus using an x-acto crafting knife I traced the lines too straightened whatever edges using the scissors. Afterwards I added an initial too flourish (freehand) using the white painter marker (which I dearest past times the agency - it paints on anything from ceramic to fabric) too and thus I tied it amongst a flake of twine. Other products shown. Twine too kraft wrapping newspaper (IKEA), Office Metal Label (Martha Stewart for Avery). Letterpress Card (bottom photo) from a.favorite design.
