Victorian Tag Book
This is a little story book made entirely of tags. A few of the
images are from The Graphics Fairy. This project was quite
time-intensive, but quite fun making it as a gift!
Here is a tip if you want to create one: Pick your images
first and then build the story around them. (This
one happens to be a story about children walking
in their garden and seeing fairies. ) Each fairy has
a different lesson to teach the children about:
imagination, kindness, and love.
I particularly like to use shapes (such as the butterfly) that extend
off the tag as they make it more visually appealing. I used a
heart, butterfly, and dragonfly punch made by the Paper
Studio. When your book is completed, simply tie together
with rope and attach organza ribbons.
I am also making a box for this to be placed in so that it
can sit next to the child's bedside. I will decorate it with
complimentary colors.
