My petiolated, simple, entire, elliptic, pinnate leaf gift tags for dacia‘s swap. She was nice enough to let me jump in at the last second after I had read about it on alicia’s blog.
At the moment, I can’t remember what gave me this idea, but I do remember being completely uninspired for this swap and having no idea what I wanted to do after I eagerly signed up. Then this idea popped into my mind and it all just flowed from there. The fabric is stitched on to cardstock so that you can write your message on the back of the tags. They are tied with hemp cord–which oddly smells EXACTLY like the barns at the county fair. (in all the best ways) I keep sniffing and reminiscing while I tie away.
These little tags will be flying priority to mail to dacia tomorrow to make the deadline.
But, I had my numbers wrong–I thought I needed to make fifteen for the swap, but it turns out I only need eleven.
So, I have four to give away. If you are interested, leave me a comment and let me know you want your name in the hat. I’ll draw a name on Saturday and send my four extras your way!
yes yes yes. put me in!
Thse are gorgeous!! Im in the swap too so hope I get one of yours!!
What a great idea.I have been messing around with sewing fabric onto card for tags too but not in quite so elegant a way!
Those are absolutely beautiful.
This is really ignorant, but when you sew onto card, do you just use a regular needle in the machine? And how do you keep the fabric from fraying?
really gorgeous… how many needles did you kill making these? 😉
so very lovely!
You must have been the Queen of 4-H! 😉 Great work!
