Hello crafty friends,
after a scorching Summer the temperatures have dropped dramatically, and it's been quite stormy these past days with lots of rain. I guess Fall season is here!
I'm sharing a fun and easy DIY today. You can watch the YouTube video in real time here:
In step one I started by stamping one of my favorite text stamps in random areas on a plain, store-bought gift tag. You can use kraft paper ones or even cut your own. It's up to you.
I then went ahead and added the watered-down distress inks. You can see how I do this in the video.
After this has completely dried I then make some marks with wax crayons, because I just love using them, but you can use inks, markers, colored pencils etc.
I then glue down a piece of the tissue paper collage in olive green with gel medium, Mod Podge or other suitable glue.
I again let this dry completely before adding the next layer. You can use a hair-dryer to speed up the process. Then choose whatever paper embellishment you wish plus a tiny bit of cheesecloth to add some texture. This is optional or you could add a piece of jute or linen if you have that on hand.
Glue these pieces down one on top of the other and add a layer of Mod Podge on top. As you can see I have a bit of overhang to one side and some frayed edges, which I like the look of. Set this aside to dry. Tie on a gingham ribbon through the hole as the final step. Now do another one :)
