Fun Glittered Tag Project

Bonjour Mes Amis!

Hope your week has been a great one so far.

For me, any day that involves glitter, vintage images, and decoupage is a great day!

So with that, I thought I'd share with you a few vintage inspired tags that I just created.

I began with some extra thick and heavy chipboard.  Actually it came from vintage picture frames that I picked up while thrifting. Since I didn't need the backings any more, I put them in my crafting stash.  I never throw stuff like that away, as it's just full of crafting potential!

 Then the really fun part began!  I pulled out my stash of lace trims, tiny buttons both vintage and newer, rhinestones, and bits of this and that.

Throw in some Mod Podge, glitter and copies of gorgeous vintage images, and 

viola!!

 I had so much fun creating these tags.  I like to keep them on hand to give as little gifts.

Wouldn't they be pretty hung from a door knob, or added to a wrapped present as a gift within a gift?

And I think they would be gorgeous hanging on the Christmas tree, too! 

I started by decoupaging vintage looking sheet music to the chipboard, which is actually decoupage paper.

The images of the beautiful women are from the Graphics Fairy. Aren't they beautiful?

For the tag below, I added this adorable glittery cut out of a birdcage, that I had in my stash for quite some time.  Love!

 To the bottom of each tag, I hot glued on pretty lacy trim and buttons.

 I then pulled out my vintage Children's dictionary and cut out various definitions, which I mounted on thinner chipboard.  No worries, the book is not valuable or anything!  I bought it for a buck at our libraries used book sale, just for the purpose of crafting.  I never would tear up a valuable book!

 Oh, the women are mounted on chipboard, too.

 I had these fun little keys in my stash, just waiting for the perfect project!

I added thin wire for hangers, leaving it a bit crinkled just for fun.
Then I tied to the wire gorgeous pale pink hand torn silk ribbon.

 Rhinestones add even more bling!

 I had so much fun with this project, I can't wait to create some more!

 The best thing is that I already had everything on hand.

Hope this inspired you to create something with what you already have sitting around!
