DIY: botanical tags

I’m not really sure why, but I love making all kinds of tags! :D I use them for everything I can think of: labeling presents, jars, as bookmarks and so on. For some reason, tags are pricey in hobby and home decor stores here in Stockholm, so I definitely prefer making them on my own. If you want to make your own tags with botanical motifs, keep reading!

Here’s what you need:

• paper (thicker, 170 grams will do; smooth since you’ll be drawing)
• pens or markers (black or color; I prefer black ones)
• scissors
• hole puncher (I guess every household has the one that punches two or four holes; this one is more convenient if you ask me, but not a must)
• jute twine rope or ribbon
• ruler (not pictured)

Steps:

1. cut out desired tag shapes;
2. cut the corners (or leave them, whatever you like; I also have a corner punch rounder which I got a while back, that’s a great addition to tags/cards making without having to spend $$$);
3. now it’s time to draw! I recommend doing that first on another piece of paper, just to see what you really want on your tags and to practice drawing a bit;
4. punch a hole;
5. done!

step 2

Here are my tags! I love leaves and dandelions so of course those are motifs on my tags! :) I think this is a pretty simple way to be creative and to make nice and unique tags!
