Monogram Tag
Supplies & Tools:
Art Glitter: Transparency Sheet
Sizzix ™ Die Cut Machine (optional)
Sizzix ™ Die #654991 (Tags, Scallop Combo #2) (optional)
Rub-on Transfers (K & Company™)
Aleene’s Paper Glaze ™
Art Glitter: Vintage Glass Glitter in Silvery Moon
Heart shaped confetti
Sewing machine (optional)
Directions:
• Cut tag shapes out of transparencies. I use a die cut machine, but you can also just use a shipping tag as a template to cut-out your own. Each tag requires two identical sized tags.
• Once tags are cut, apply rub-on transfer monogram & flourishes to one of the tags.
• Take two tags and apply a thin line of glue around the edge of THREE sides of the tag. Leave one of the short ends of the tag unglued. (Note: Make sure the glue you use dries absolutely clear or you will have a smeary mess on your tag!)
• Once the glue has dried, pour glitter & confetti between the two tags through the end you left open.
• Glue the open end closed.
• Once glue has dried, you may want to sew around the edge of your tag for an embellished look. I use an inexpensive sewing machine for this step. I don’t want to get glue on the machine I use for sewing materials!

These are so elegant! Very nicely done. I especially like the stitching on the monogram one! I tried one with 1/8" sticky tape instead of glue and actually liked it! Of course I decorated the outside with some glitter dots around the edges too. Thanks Laura!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have been playing with transparencies lately, and noow I can try this. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOooooo... I'm a fan of this project. This is a great idea for gift tags. You could also use these one a great glitter twig tree and use the tags for guest seating at a wedding. Or some other idea for a birthday party. Hmm... now my wheels are turning.
