SHAKY TAGS

It doesn't look like Christmas, but it's just around the corner! In order not to arrive in over your head, I recommend you to prepare well in advance and therefore I propose the package for your thoughts and gifts.

In order to make these tags, I used the medium die of *Hanging Tags* and I die cut a piece from the Special Paper *Garzato Trasparente* and another from a soft transparent plastic, like a tablecloth. Still with the same die, I only cut the top part, where the hole is, from the *Forever Green* paper collection.

Before sewing with the sewing machine with white thread and closing all the parts, I inserted a few little things between the two transparent papers: sequins, beads, small stars and also some white rubber die cuts with the die *Funny Alphabet* to form the words Joy, Xmas and 2019.

Closing the tags, I started to embellish the upper part by gluing snowflakes, poinsettias, bells and stamps.

Tag 1: for this tag I cut the two small poinsettias using the die *Friends of Christmas* and in the middle I put a white dot. I stamped in black on the paper the phrase "best wishes" from the plaque of clear stamps *Santa Claus* and fastened the band, which is in the die *Hanging Tags*, closed with the red and white twine where at the end I have tied a white bell.

Tag 2: for this tag I cut with the die *Poinsettia* the flower using the special paper *Opaca Oro*, then I stamped a sentiment from the stamp plate *Amici del Natale* on the band used as a banner and glued a half pearl on the hole.

Tag 3: for this tag, on the other hand, I simply glued a silver ribbon and placed a die-cut snowflake in white with the die *Amici del Natale* and I glued a silver sequin in the center.

Tag 4: finally, even this is very simple, I glued a ribbon, cutting it into a dovetail, and I glued on top it the writing “Auguri” die cut it in white rubber from the die *Buone Feste*. To finish, I tied the strap to the tag and closed with a white cord and a bell.

Hoping always to give you welcome suggestions for how to carry out your Christmas projects, I greet you and wait for you next time!
