Tuesday's Tip at Ten is to add tags to all your gifts! Don't have time to make a card or not a lot of supplies, try making a gift tag and make it to match your gift. I love making Baby Hooded Towels as my go to gift for Baby Showers. These ones I made to sell at my Spring Boutique this Saturday and wanted to add a cute tag to match. Here is how I made this tag:
- Cut Pool Party & Basic White 2 x 4 1/4. Tag punch the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
- Emboss the Pool Party with the Seabed 3D Folder.
- Cut 2 x 3 Pacific Point and die cut the waves from the Shark Dies.
- Die cut the Pumpkin Pie fish.
- Stamp in Memento Ink the shark and stamp the inside with Mango Melody. Die cut him out.
- Stamp Baby and Shark in Black and fussy cut out.
- Attach everything with glue or dimensionals and stamp on the Basic White a "to and from".
- Embellish with the Opal Rounds.
Bonus: How to make the Hooded Towel
Supplies
Small Towel
Hand Towel (cut in half)
15 inches of ribbon
- Buy the smallest cheapest towel from Walmart. I can't remember the size, but they are small and have a matching hand towel. (I think like $2.50 for body towel and $.98 for the hand).
- Cut the hand towel in half.
- Fold the finished edge of the hand towel up about 4 inches and pin on the ribbon. Unfold and sew the ribbon on.
- Once ribbon is on, fold the finished edge back up, and zig zag sew alone it.
- Flip the hood inside out and sew together the raw edges (where you had cut) with a zig zag stitch to create the hood.
- Attach the hood to the body towel by finding the center of the towel by folding it in half and pin on the hood to it. I use a zig zag stitch here and go really slow because the towel layers are super thick.
