Holiday Project – Handmade Tags – Copic Ornaments

A few months ago, I made some handmade tags for Julie’s handmade for the holidays series. There were six tags and one set of downloads. I will post all of them one at a time during this week.

For all my tags I used manila tags I bought at Office Depot. You can always cut your own tag from cardstock and punch a hole as well.

Here are the steps to this simple tag:
1. For this tag, I wanted to play with copic markers. I stamped three different ornament stamps on copic-friendly paper.
2. I colored the ornaments using blues, pinks, purples, and red.
3. I cut them out and attached baker’s twine to each.
4. I covered my tag with print paper.
5. I inked the edges of the tag to define the edges better.
6. I put the ornaments on the tag with dimensional tape so they stood out a little.
7. I then added the tiny alphabets and stitched through them to ensure they wouldn’t fall off.
8. Ta-da! Another tag done.

Supplies Used: My Mind’s Eye Holly Jolly stamps, My Mind’s Eye I Believe stamps, The Girls’ Paperie Tinsel and Twig sticker market, Making Memories Ledger Slice Paper Pack, Dusty Concord Distress ink, baker’s twine and copic markers.

And here’s a movie where I demonstrate how I made the tag:
