Handmade tags


Today was another production day for me - putting all the finishing touches on all our designs for this Sunday’s market.  One of the last things to go onto the design are our tags.  As some of you might know tags can get quite expensive for a start up so we decided to make handmade tags for our designs. 

Here’s how we do it :
Need :
  • Handmade recycle paper.  ( we get our from our $2 stores )
  • Print outs of you label, care instructions and web site details.  I like my printed out in color
  • Glue
  • Hole punch
  • Straw  

Steps :
1.  Fold the handmade paper into the size you are happy with.  Our ones tend to be ¼ of an A5 piece of paper.  ( cos it's easy to cut and you use every inch of the paper )
2. Cut out all your labels, care instructions and website details

3.  Apply glue to the back of the your labels, care instructions and website details and attach it to the folded handmade paper.
4.  Punch a hole into the handmade paper in the position of where you would like the straw to go through
5.  Pull the straw through the hole. 



There you have it – handmade tags.
