Rosette gift tags.

Its my turn to do a tutorial this week

over at Polka Doodles.

The challenge this week is

CANDY COLOURS
(Click on the pic to go to the challenge)

I thought I would make these bright

 and cheerful gift tags.
I used Bonbon Belles CD
for my papers and my embellies.

Stick with me, there are a lot of photos !

I realised making another project
I had no idea how to make a rosette !
So I thought I would use one in my tutorial this week.
Sometimes we overlook the simplest of things!

You will need a score board, hot glue gun, papers

circle dies - a large and a small one.
Hole punch tool, gems, glitter glue

String, embellishments for decoration.

Cut strips of paper 1 1/4" x 11"

 Score a strip of paper every 1/4"

Then fold into a concertina

Hot glue the ends together so it makes a circle.

Now form a circle by gathering the folds together

and folding it in on itself to make a circle.

HOLD tight with your fingers !

Hot glue onto the large circle and place the 

folded paper onto the glue, holding in position until it is dry.

(Only a few seconds)

Then hot glue the smaller circle on top of the paper.

Now punch a hole in one of the scallops of the tag.

Cut along the edge of the paper circle 

into a zig zag using the folds.

Tie a piece of string through the hole.

Now the tag is ready for decorating !

I used my Stickles to glitter around all the edges.

When it was dry I stuck my sentiment from the CD

on the middle then decorated with 

butterfly and flowers and of course gems !

Right I'm off to decorate the other ones

Oranges, Pinks and stripes !!!

Have fun !!
