tags

I found some old luggage tags when looking for something else, so decided to make a few vintage look Christmas tags. I had a wonderful time getting messy with inks, paints, crackles and modge-podge. I think I am over compensating for never having gone to a playgroup as a child! although I did do a playgroup leaders' course some moons ago, that was fun!



I used paper serviettes/napkins and podged away to my heart's content, I don't intend to use them on gifts, but to put them in a journal I started a few months back.

I love these Nettie. They're really, really Christmassy and they'll look lovely in a journal.

Hope you show us when it's finished.
