Now secondly i wanted to share a really simple project with you. Me and Mr G love reading and for one of his valentines pressies i wanted to make him a bookmark. I have made wooden bookmarks before but these all look a bit girly so i thought i would make a card one instead. I started with a card luggage tag (i bought a pack of 10 for £1.20 in Tesco's)
Then i used double sided tape to stick one side of the luggage tag all over (once i had removed the string) then i placed the luggage tag onto the reverse of a piece of patterned background card and then cut around the edge. I then did the same on the back of the tag. Then i punched a hole in the top and fed some ribbon through. I then used stickers to apply the text. This is the front....
and this is the back....
This is such a simple project and turns out better than i thought it would. I'm now going to make some more the rest of my family.

Neat idea for a bookmark. Love the colors you chose and the sentiment as well.
ReplyDeletethat is a cute tag. It would look so cute in a book as a book mark.

That's just lovely, I use those tags blank as my bookmarks ~ I must give them a little makeover!
