Inspire Me! Trim Tag

Inspiration trim tags are so fun to receive, but even more fun to make! The possibilities are just endless. This swap will be for one (1) partner, creating (1) tag. Very easy, very fun! Most of these items you probably already have on hand.

Directions:

Use a large sized paper tag (heavy cardstock or double up on scrapbooking or other paper) and wrap trim (ribbons, fibers, vintage seam binding, baker's twine or lace) around it. Next, tuck in some inspirational goodies between the trim. (Your goodies should be peeking out of the trim) The "goodies" should be craft supplies that will come in handy for your partner, inspiring them to make their next project.

Some examples of goodies...

• (Vintage) buttons
• small images
• Millinery flowers, prima flowers, etc.
• Gem stones
• small packet of glitter
• chipboard piece
• tied up piece of ribbon
• yo-yos
• small tags
• small game pieces (Scrabble letters, etc.)
• nice piece of lace
• charms, pendants, etc.

Think embellishments, think mini!

*Please note, tags can be tea stained, stamped, decorated, altered, whatever.

Rules:

• (1) one swap partner, sending (1) one tag.
• This is sender's choice
• Please send something you would be proud of
• Send by deadline, July 14

(This may be the first in a series of inspiration trim tags. This is sender's choice to get your feet wet, but if it goes well, I may add a themed tag in a series of tags to come)
