Christmas Parcel Tags...

Well i have been busy today making my christmas tags to tie on my parcels...
I cut up a linen napkin which i found in the charity shop for 50p,then hole punched one end so that i can thread through some brown string to tie on the parcels...then stamped on my festive message & decorated with lace,old buttons,rusty bells & rusty stockings....



I got the idea from the lovely nicky of the vintage magpie who can be found here :http://thevintagemagpie.typepad.com/thevintagemagpie/


I am pleased with how they have turned out, just the cards to make & write now!!



This last tag with the little floral button is for my lovely mum,the button is off one of my cardigans when i was a little girl...so there will probably be a few tears when mum opens her parcel...
Well better go,the dinner is on the go...bye for now. xx
