Since I didn't make a tag for the "Insects" theme last week, I merged the theme into this week's tag through the use of origami. This ancient paper art form certainly makes use of a plenty of "pleats, folds and tucks." LOL!
I began my tag design by making an origami bumble bee using a sheet of paper that had a solid and print side. I glued some gem eyes to my bee for added interest and a bit of spark. Next, I embroidered a flowery border along the bottom of the Kraft card stock tag base, and attached the bee above it with a strip of foam. As a finishing touch, I tied a polka dotted strip of ribbon in coordinating colours to the top.
I had fun mixing the patterns in this tag, and hopefully you will enjoy them too. I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with. Have a blessed week!
Terrific folding and it made a gorgeous tag
