Valentines Day

I am really enjoying making these tags, its great fun!

Everyones tags are beautiful.


I've got myself prepared for the next lot by recycling a bunch of toilet roll middles!

I cut them, then sprayed them with water to flatten them , put them under some heavy books overnight then ironed them! Cut three good sized tags from each one.
This weeks tag was made from my toilet roll tags, I covered it with an old rose fabric and some odd scraps of red fabric and a bit of net.I had some dried rose petals from my garden from last year so I added those with some fine net over the top. A pink handmade bead, some little french knots and crosses , a piece of tea stained calico 'roses are red' and to finish, a fancy yarn tassle with a few beads attached.


Wishing you all a Happy Valentines Evening
