What a great theme this week at Tag Tuesday - so many possibilities! I
didn't know what to choose. I thought about all the different things
that come into my mind when I think about going to the seaside and I
remembered that trip at the end of the day to the rock shop. A
colourful world of sugary treats! I know you can still get most of the
things I remember from my childhood. Bags of pebbles, huge dummies and
Chocolate Honeycombe pieces....Mmmmmm!
So here is my tag with sticks of rock even the dentist won't mind me
having!! I rolled card and then wrapped the tubes in paper that I
coloured myself using Pro Markers. I even tried my hand at making sugar
sticks as an embellishment for my tag.
I made them using cocktail sticks. I blobbed (technical term) Pinflair
glue gel (silicone) on to the tops of the sticks and then dipped them in
glass beads and added a touch of stickles for a bit of sparkle.
Here is the side view of all my sticks of rock with their greetings that
go all the way through!! Hope you like my sweet offering. Thank you
for all the lovely comments last week.
I absolutely love this! A brilliant idea and looks so effective.

ReplyDeleteGreat sugar sticks and sticks of rock, they reminded me of when I was 16 and worked in a sweet factory one summer, rolling and wrapping rock. Never touched the stuff since,I hope the writing goes all the way through! Jane xx
