Diamond Jubilee


Hope you have all enjoyed the Jubilee Celebrations!  A quick peek at your Jubilee Tags has revealed some amazing creativity; can’t wait to go back for a closer look.  A big Thank You for all your lovely comments on my tags, they are precious.

 My first tag this week is a Union flag made from ribbons and scraps of embroidered fabric, all stuck to a manila tag. There is a red ribbon tie and some ‘crown jewels’ bling.


I made my Union Jack as I watched the Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames on TV on Sunday.  To remember the occasion, I have put a newspaper clipping of the Royal Barge on the back of the tag along with some bunting and crowns.

To ring the changes from Red, White and Blue my second tag is pink.  I used a copy of the card that Throop WI in Bournemouth sent to Her Majesty to congratulate her on her Jubilee.  I did the calligraphy; another member, Judy, did the thread work and embellishments.  I added some more bling and a pink ribbon to finish.

Have a great week
love Jane xx

  11. Great tags, Jane. You must have felt so patriotic as you made your Union Jack one whilst watching the flotilla. Now you have your own mementos of the special day.
