Thank You Gift Tags & Necklace

 

Hello dear friends I have a fun DIY to share. Holidays are all about celebrating life and thanking the people that matter in your life. There are different ways to express thanks, thank you notes, tags and thank you necklace is just one of them.

In this DIY (Do It Yourself) project I’m going to show how to create a beautiful flower tag with any message that your heart desire.

 

 

Step1) Material List for DIY thank you tag

  1. Artificial Leather or Vinyl.
  2. Satin ribbon
  3. Rotary cutter or Scissors
  4. Super Glue
  5. Compass
  6. Yarn Needle
  7. Fabric markers or Fabric paints
  8. Design print
  9. Pencil
  10. Pellon Iron on backing
  11. Fabric print & design of your choice
  12. Double zero Paint brush
  13. “Thank You” Block or Stamp

Step2) Take your designer fabric strip, make sure the size is 4″ x 18″ 

 

Step3) Cut fabric strip straight with the rotary cutter.

 

Step4) Take needle and yarn for the running stitch [for me this was a difficult step because I couldn’t decide which yarn to use, which is obvious since my yarn box is a mess, I’m sure your’s is not :-)]

 

Step5) Connect corners of the fabric strip together with running stitch to make circle . Fold the strip and run stitches for gathers.

 

Step6) Pull thread from both the corners to pull gather in the middle and now you can see the flower shape. Tighten the knot then cut the extra thread. 

 

Step7) Use Iron to press down the flower this will help to give flower a better shape .

 

Step8a) Now we will need a piece of sponge foam. Spread some fabric color of your choice smoothly on the foam. Tap on the color few times to smoothen the colored surface.

 

Step8b) Tap the “thank you” block/stamp on the sponge few times. Make sure your stamp is evenly dabbed in color.

Step9) Don’t forget to put your fabric or vinyl on hard surface before stamping

Step10) #1 Draw a circle around your “thank you” stamp, with the help of compass.

Step10) #2 Use super glue and stick the cut out in the centre of your flower.

 

 

 Step11) Tuck satin ribbon to the back side of the flower .


Step12) Show that you care and add personal touch to any gift with this “Thank You” tag. I used mine on a wine bottle as a gift.

 

I also used this flower gift tag with a necklace as shown below.

 

You can tuck the necklace to the flower tag with thread, needle and Jump ring.

A “thank you”  tag is a fun and loving way to show your love, support, encouragement or gratitude for anybody whom is important in your life. So don’t wait, go ahead and create some fun tags.

Thanksgiving is fun!

I have been playing with many ideas since last few days and wanted to create some artwork in the spirit of Thanksgiving and the Holidays. Every time I would sit on my desk, draw some new designs and then would drive up to Hobby Lobby to find items that I can use to create these designs. My good friend Morgan has helped me so much every time I am there, answering all the silly questions I have with the same enthusiasms and happiness on her face. I realized then that I should come up with something that reflects and states loudly “happiness and fun”. Something that you can wear and show it to all. Like a headband, bracelet or jewelry. Like Morgan’s smile!

This has been a fun project and specially because Morgan and her gorgeous cousins came over to my place and modeled with all the items I had designed. They are so much fun and so cute. I had a great time shooting their pictures and thanks to all of them for making this a truly fun project.
