This weeks theme for the Tando Creative DT is 'Tag It!'.
I love playing with fabric so made a fabric tag with canvas.
I cut out a tag shape and sewed a zig-zag stitch all the way around. I then applied some Fray Check to stop it fraying as canvas can fray quite quickly.
I decorated the blank canvas firstly by using a spray mist in green and orange. Then, using Tando Creative masks - Sequin Waste and Baroque and Versamagic Ink Pads in Cherry Pink and Spring Green, I randomly added the spots and part of the Baroque pattern at the top right.
I cut out a spotty heart and a slightly larger hessian heart for underneath and sewed then directly onto the canvas. I added the green sead beads around the edge and sewed French Knots onto the spots, and dotted a few around the tag too.
I sewed some random wavy lines before adding some brads. I have so many brads and this is a fab way to use them up!
I backed the whole tag with some green felt - great for hiding all the back of the sewing and brads, and I also did some rough stitching around the tag hole to stop it fraying any further, before threading with ribbon and a pinky fibre.
I now have ideas to do some of these for Christmas! Can't believe we are back to that time of year when we have to think about Christmas! :)
This is gorgeous, Caroline. x
