Originally, I wanted to used paper instead of fabric, as I don't have mush fabric around any more. I did try to used paper strips, but it doesn't work. Believe me! So, I went to JoAnn's, and bought some small bundles of green fabric. I try to make something different when I do challenges and tried to make an ornament, but that did not work. So I gave up and did the tree, which everyone seems to be doing. I put my tree on a tag, which works for me. The grand kids are coming for an over night stay. I may get them to make a few for me, as it is pretty easy. That is not child labor, is it?
Here is my tag!
I am entering this tag in the Make it Monday #229 challenge, Fabric Strip Christmas Tree
I used the Stitched fishtail die from Die-namics, and kraft paper from GKD. I had stamped a butterfly and flower in white from another project, that did not make the cut. The edges are sponged in Distress ink, Frayed Burlap. After making the tree, I used hot glue to adhere it to the tag. A few embellishments from my stash and I was done. Fa la la la la !
As always, thanks for stopping by and if you care to leave a comment, I love them.
Oh that is FABULOUS! Love the fabric you chose and the tag is pretty cool too! Love the heart charm and your snowflake topper. Wasn't this FUN to make? Yes, great minds! So funny! Move East girlie!!! xo~
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative process to come up with this tag! LOVE it! I think the grandkids will LOVE making them;)
ReplyDeleteI think Donna should move to the Midwest, don't you? Just sayin'...lol. This is so super cute, and what a great project for the grand babies. They always love the crafts, don't they? Your tag is FABULOUS!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, no it's not child labor, Barb, it's child fun! I think you put your heart and some well-earned money into this delightful tag. It's frustrating when you can't tweak a design to give it your signature, but in this case "if it ain't broke ...," right? You sure did a beauty of a tree with this technique and you still made the design your own!I Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteGreat choices of fabric with which you made the tree tag. And, not child labor....just interacting with the youngins'!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! You went all out going to the store for supplies . I love how fun this was to create! Well,done Barb!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous project Barbara! Your tree looks spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI think your tree turned out just beautiful Barbara! I love all the shades of green with just a few pops of red...too, too cute! And I don't think it's child labor either...I think your grandkids are going to love it and think you're the coolest grandma ever! Can't wait till my granddaughter is old enough to craft with me! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun technique! I love your fabric tree and tag. Bet the grandkids will have a ball making these!
ReplyDeleteOh, Barb, I saw this challenge and absolutely love your tag with your fabric Christmas tree! I think it's a great idea for the grandkids to try. I love it, and it's going to be one of those tags that you (and they) will cherish...along with the memories! Hugs!
