Directions

Assemble the chipboard tags and paint one side at a time waiting for paint to dry in between coats.I choose to assembly-line my tags for a show I was doing so I am painting 18 at a time. Once both sides are dry you can go to the next step.

2. Stamp or stencil the background. Let Dry! When the background is dry it’s time for embellishments. If you used a chalk paint, now would be the time to seal it. If your paint has a built-in topcoat, then you can go right to the next step.

Embellishing Simple Diy Ornaments

3. I am using bits and pieces of IOD Transfers to embellish my tags/ornaments. Because I often use only a small part of a transfer, I have a huge stash of pieces! Here is how I embellish and design an ornament.

4. When I am happy with the design, I go around the tag with the side of an ink pad. Once the ink dries, it’s time to seal and add your hanger.

Just look at these finished tags! Perfect for gift giving, ornaments for your tree or even decorating a gift! Be sure to share your tags on our Gardenhouse Studio Facebook Group. What you aren’t a member yet? We would love to have you join. Click the link below.
