* Gecko Galz: 24 Tags of Christmas

Hello!

Happy Friday!

Over on the Gecko Galz blog we are celebrating the run up to Christmas with our 24 Tags of Christmas event. Each day DT members post a Christmas tag made using Gecko Galz products. If you leave a comment on the blog post or make a purchase you will be in the draw for a DAILY Gecko Galz gift!

What are you waiting for?

Here are my tags, featured on the blog today:

I made two vintage tags from recycled jar lids. 

The nice thing is they double up as tree decorations!

Having given the jar lids a good soak and scrub, I printed out the  images that I needed. I used manuscript music papers from the Christmas Carols collage set for the backgrounds and cut out circles, slightly larger than the lid, so that they would cover the entire interior surface.  The images I used are from Christmas Carols and Merry Little Christmas, but any images would work. I fussy cut them, edged them with Vintage Photo ink and popped them up on foam pads for a 3D look.

I pierced the rim of the jar lid with my pokey tool and threaded crochet ribbon through, knotting and glueing on the inside to hold it in place. I added the tinsel trim using Fabri-tac glue. Next I made the 'To and From' tag, on my computer, using sentiments from the Christmas Sayings stamp set. These were printed, die cut and edged in Fired Brick Distress Oxide, then glued to the top of the jar lid.

And there you have it - easy and duel-purposed, as well as a bit of recycling!
