How To

Cut cards out of the white cardstock in circles, rectangles, or any shape you like, then stamp with your design. Let the stamped tags dry overnight. The next day, gather friends and family around a table and get creative coloring. Punch holes in completed tags and add the string tie. To attach the tie, fold a precut piece of bakers twine in half and insert the folded edge through the hang tag hole. Next thread the two cut edges from the opposite end of the twine through the loop and pull gently to tighten.

The variations are limitless. You can add glitter, combine characters, add background scenes and patterns, use watercolor, braid the twine, and so on.
