How To Make Clay Tags

Hi, today I have a project over at the Creative Paperclay Blog where I am a Designer, and it's about cute gift tags.  These tags can also be kept as mementoes and hung like ornaments.  They are fun to make and pretty easy.  Here is a picture:

To make these I used Creative Paperclay® air drying modelling material that I rolled out flat first.  Then I cut out the tags with a plastic knife while using a template I have.
Once the clay is dry it is just like working with paper and can be coloured on with any medium.  Dry paperclay can also be cut and even hole punched just like regular thick paper.  It is such a versatile medium to work with.

To see more pictures of all the steps I took to make these very tags just pop over to the CP blog where I post all the steps.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and go get crafty.

Handmade Paper Tags

Tags are so useful and easy to make.  As a Designer for the Arnold Grummer Papermaking Design Team I can make my very own paper and paper products.  I use the method developed by Arnold Grummer himself and I am always pleased with the results.

Here are some tags I made and used on some Easter Gift baskets yesterday.  These can easily be adapted to suit any occasion.

I explain in detail how I made these tags over at the Arnold Grummer blog.

Tuesday Tags

Tally hoe!  Tootles! It's Tuesday time for some tips and techniques or tutorials with me, Ann from the All That Stickles Design Team.  Today I have two tags that I Stickled with my versions of Fall/Autumn colours.

Tags are fun and fast to make projects that are so versatile.  Tags are great as is for using as Gift Tags on presents, and I like to give them as Bookmarks as well.  I also like to add tags to cards and scrapbook projects.  I have also used them in my art journals and made larger ones to use as decorations.  Tags are great for trying new techniques too, and you can bind them together with a binder ring, a shower curtain ring or just some ribbon and string to take along with you to and from classes.

Over at the ATS Blog, today, I explain that it has   occurred  to me that what I perceive as THE fall colours is subjective, really.   That is why I made two versions of my tag, one with the muted fall tones and the other one with primary colours.
