Gift Tags

This week I tried to tidy up my craft room...

After many happy hours spent looking through my stash of fabric, paper and other things I forgot I even had, my husband brought me cup of tea and to his dismay found me busy crafting instead of tidying. I have not really achieved tidy craft room, but finished another little project inspired by paper of cuts, which should have been thrown away long time ago.

I found some plain card and turned the of cuts into these:



I was inspired by the paper to make these gift tags a bit old fashioned and chose old white and faded purple buttons to compliment the paper. You can also see them here.



I have a bad habit of not throwing anything away, as I always think it could be useful for something one day. I still have not found much use lots of stuff I keep, but I'm glad I kept these papers.


It's only Sunday, but why not pop in to Handmade Monday for more inspiration and crafty ideas.

  11. I don't have a craft room - it's probably just as well or i'd be a major hoarder. The spare bedroom is full enough as it is. Lovely tags.

  14. They are so pretty. Will have squirrel that idea away! Whenever I've thrown anything away I find I desperately need it a few weeks later!

  15. Those are really pretty. That's the sort of thing I always think I should do to keep on hand, and never do. But I do have so much *stuff* I could probably make some. :)
