Megan @ Lilac and Lavender
For this project I used my laser printer and thin plywood to make the tags. My husband was a sweetheart and cut the plywood for me. He also drilled a hole in the tags for the twine. I lightly sanded each tag.
You will want to make more than just one ... trust me.
I used Elmer's glue for this project. I put a thin layer of Elmer's glue on the wood tags and added the pictures. You can put a picture on both sides it you like. When they dried I used my round nose pliers to poke through the paper opening up the small hole for the twine. You can use anything that will fit through the hole.
Then I sealed the wood tags with varnish.
I added the twine when the varnish dried.
The tags look great on cloches, crowns, wreaths, door knobs, pillows, baskets, lamps, candlesticks, cork boards, French bottle trees, and so much more.

WOW!!! I love what you did with my bird tags ~ seeing projects like this brightens my day!! Thank you for sharing :) I'll keep this idea in mind in the future for sure! Have a great week!
These are just beautiful and I really love them hanging from the lamp. I am jealous of all you crafty girls. I am so not talented in that area.
These tags are just adorable! I want to try some with card stock instead of wood. Too cute!!!

I love your gift tags, Dee! They look so nice hanging from your lamp and pillows!
Your tags are beautiful, Dee! I really love that they're wood so that they'll hold up nicely. I love the way the tag adds a bit of detail to your lamp as well.
Thanks for sharing this at my party!

Love the tags you made. If they were in the store they'd cost a fortune.
These are so charming! So far I've just been making tags out of shipping tags, but I love the idea of using wood. New projects for me!
