Step-by-step
Step 1
First, make the tags out of the coloured paper. If you are using a tag punch, it will punch an eyelet hole for the ribbon at the same time. Alternatively, make the tags yourself: Sketch out the shapes on the coloured paper and cut them out. Punch a hole at the top in the middle.
Step 2
Place the number stencil over each tag and use the white crayon to transfer the numbers 1-24, one at a time. To give the tags a quirky look, make the numbers slightly slanted or crop them a little by positioning the stencil so that it goes beyond the edge of the tag.
Step 3
Then colour in the numbers with the gloss paint marker.
Before you start, here’s how to activate the edding gloss paint marker: Shake the marker firmly with the cap still on. Place the nib on a piece of scrap paper and carefully pump it up and down a few times until the ink fills the nib. Start by writing a few test strokes on some scrap paper. And don’t forget to always replace the cap securely after use.
Step 4
Allow to dry for a short time, then thread the ribbon through the hole and secure a tag to each ready-made gift.
