When you’re giving a gift to someone who loves birds and/or the outdoors, a bird gift tag can be a beautiful addition to the wrapping. The best part is that you can personalize it for the recipient, right down to the color ribbon you use.
What you’ll need:
- Plain gift tag
- Book page
- Mod Podge
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Tissue
- Ink pads in two colors
- Bird stamp
Step 1. Choose a book page to adhere to the front of the tag. I chose a page from an antique french dictionary, but you can choose any you think the recipient would love.
Step 2. Trim the excess paper from the tag.
Step 3. Rub the tag along an ink pad until there’s color along the edges.
Step 4. Stamp the image of a bird into the center of the tag.
Step 5. Dab a tissue into the same color ink you used along the edges of the tag, then blot it all over the front of the tag.
Step 6. Take a second tissue, blot it in a second complementary color of ink, then blot it all over the front of the tag.
Step 7. Punch a hole into the top of the tag
Step 8. Put a ribbon through the hole.
