| My sister asked me to make a book of hand painted tags for her daughters wedding shower. The idea is for guests to write their good wishes on the tags. They would be tied into a book for the bride. |
 |
| I started this by drawing small designs on the end of Uline tags with a Sharpie pen, then hand painting each one with watercolor paint |
 |
| Here is the Uline tag. It's a nice size 6-1/4 x 3 and white #S-2416-W. One side is slick, and not good for painting, but the other side is slightly less slick. The paint kinda pools on the tags, which I really like. It was a little daunting drawing all of the designs. When I got 30 done, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. |
 |
| I used Grungeboard to make the front and back cover |

| A variety of colorful designs |
 |
| I made about 60 tags, a true labor of love |
 |
| They are all pretty different, and I wanted each one to be bright and cheerful |
 |
| How long did it take? Hours and hours, days to design and paint! A lovely handmade gift that I hope will give them joy for years to come! |

ReplyDeleteSpectacular Jamie! Each individual drawing and then oh WOW as a whole. and in case you're looking for another project to do...I would love a font of your handwriting too and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteThis is something they will cherish forever; I know I would. And just think about any children in the future that would love them as well....{ I can also see a line of fabric using these drawings Jamie... { wink-wink... }
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I bet you could publish a little tear out booklet of this for bridal showers
