Shabby Chic Gift Tag - two gift tagsThis is such a pretty and fashionably messy gift tag. You don't have to make yours exactly the same. After making one, I hope I have encouraged you to design your own. Have a search around to see what bits and pieces you have to make one in your own unique style.

Steps:

  1. Apply a wash of colour to your luggage tag. This will look better if it is done unevenly. Children's watercolour paints will do fine for this. Don't forget to remove the tie first. Allow the paint to dry before proceeding.

  3. Don't worry if the wet paint causes the tag to curl. It should flatten out again once dry.
