More Christmas Tags

I had such fun making the tags from my last post that I thought I would have a repeat performance in the craft room, focusing on Christmas tags.  I have such a lot of tiny scraps of Christmas fabric that I thought I would experiment with it.  The end result is beautiful but it does take some time waiting for the glue to dry.  I used glue to adhere the fabric to the tag which did hold up proceedings slightly but worth the effort if you have the time.



 
The candy cane was made using two pipe cleaners.  I do like the overall finish and it is a great way to use up oddments of fabric.
 
 
Whilst waiting for the glue to dry I played around with stamps simple but effective, with the addition of a button is a quick and practical make.
 


 
Finally using oddments of card and buttons a Santa evolved, a must for children.
 

 
 
It would have been nice to have the Christmas music on doing this but I resisted and sang along to Herman's Hermits, Rod Stewart and UB40 with a track or two from Take That.   I have to admit to enjoying my time in the craft room but I need to get some of the household chores done, so I will love and leave you.  Take care.
 
See you soon.

    Honestly....your tags are absolutely amazing.
    I would use them on gifts wrapped in Kraft paper with no other design to detract from the beautiful tags. They would look gorgeous-x-

    I love your designs! How brilliant to use the button holes in the white buttons for eyes and buttons on a snowman! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    Inspirational Lorraine. After your post this week I set aside an hour to catch up on my scrapbook of little things the children say that make me smile. Next I am going to get stuck into my button stash. Jo xxx

    oh love them all but the santa and the xmas tree with the gold button on top are my favorites. I love making tags too and I know what you mean, I also have lots of little scrap pieces to use for these things!

    The tags are so pretty. My favorite is the holly leaves with red buttons for berries. You are so talented! My daughter Lynn makes beautiful tags too, and they sell good at craft shows.

    If I had to pick a favorite it would be very hard because they are all wonderful, but the holly one is amazing. Well done,
