These
gift tags were made using an old paper map and some plain brown parcel tags
from W H Smith.
The
tools that you need are as follows:
Sharp
scissors
Strong
glue – I use extra strong Pritt Stick
Hole
punch
Ring
reinforcement stickers
Take
the string out from the parcel tag and place the tag on top of your map. Cut around it, leaving a little bit of a
margin. Repeat for the reverse side.
Carefully
stick the map onto the tag and leave it alone for 10 minutes so that the glue
dries. Trim very carefully along the
edge. Repeat for the reverse side.
You
now need to make a hole on the top of the tag.
Take your time lining up the hole punch.
Try and get it as near as possible to the location of the tag’s original
hole. Reinforce both sides with the
stickers.
Re-thread
the string and there you are!
An
original tag for a gift of any kind, but especially good for a Bon Voyage
present or for someone who is into Geography or Orienteering.
I
have some on sale in my Etsy shop, SewsAttic.
