HOW TO MAKE TAGS

   Coat the tag with an even layer of fibre paste. Add a little extra paste around the edge of the tag and use a spatula to create small peaks. Allow to dry thoroughly.

        Once the paste is dry, apply a coat of white acrylic paint. Whilst the paint is still wet cover with crystal clear glitter and allow to dry.

        Cut out the skates image and distress and ink the edges. Mat onto a piece of the music paper leaving a small border so the musical notes can be seen. Ink the reverse with Antique Linen. Distress the edges and ink them (front side) with Walnut Stain. Use the glue ben to draw a border around the edge of the skates image and top with silver glitter.Use a cocktail stick to curl opposite corners.

        Apply the image to the tag using glue gel. Dry brush white paint onto parts of the holly leaf die cuts and add white glitter over the top to give a frosty appearance. Arrange the leaves so that they create a border around two sides of the tag. Tuck some leaves under the lower corner of the image. Add berries using the Stickles glitter glue.

       To finish, create a double bow from the seam binding and add to the top of the tag. Top with a few more holly leaves and some red glittery berries.
