For those of you new to tag making I've added a few pics below, of tags that I've made in the past, as samples.
~ You can make them as simple or as elaborate as you want.
~ They can be any shape. Don't go larger than 6"x6" or it won't be considered a "tag". Most people make their tags 3"x4" or 4"x6", though.
~ You want it to be sturdy, not flimsy, so your best bet is to use a piece of cardboard as a backing - many cut out from cereal boxes, etc. - that's a good thickness.
~ Glue sticks or double-sided tape work well for adding paper on. You'll need a stronger glue, or glue gun, when adding embellishments.
~ Print out pictures from the internet and/or use scrapbook papers found at craft stores. Oh, and a word of caution, while you're at the craft store you'll want to bring home a ton of little do-dads to add on - so take lots of money, lol!
~ A piece of ribbon or string to hang it with and, voila, you've got yourself a tag!
Contact your swap partner for her mailing address. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me (or your swap partner) know!
You will have two weeks to make the tags and have them mailed out no later than Thursday, Sept. 22nd. On Monday, Sept. 26th I will open a Linky post so we can all share our tags on our blogs.

Oh I just saw this come across my Google Reader....I am so bumbed I missed it...I have been so busy sewing for a show and haven't been in the blog world for a few days....Those few days sure do make a difference...Well maybe next time...Looking forward to seeing all the Lovely Tags that get made... : )
How does this work? I would like to make a tag.
I am so happy to have got in on this. Trish contacted me today and I will start on my tags this week end when my family all leaves.

How nice that you have made my partner someone I have never met before! So Cool!

If I knew anything about tags, I'd probably say nice tags. But from me - basically an idiot when it comes tags, they do look really nice.
Little question. I have contacted Miss Bitsy two times and have yet to hear from her. Just checking to make sure that she is still in? THanks so much...smiles...Renee
