One day last week, I had a few minutes to myself and decided that I needed something for Valentine's, that I needed to play with paper and glitter, and I needed to do it right then!
I came up with this garland made of shipping tags (from the office supply store, chip board letters that I either covered in scrapbook paper from Making Memories, or painted and edged in glitter, and pages from an old, old French 2 textbook. Each tag has a bow or ribbon at the top - some are grosgrain ribbon, some are old pieces of lace, and there's a satin one or two mixed in as well. I used only brown, pink, cream and natural tones on this - and had more fun making it than a person should be allowed to have. I ordered the brown and white striped string from Raffit Ribbon before Christmas, and the tags are attached with the little silver bulldog clips from the office supply store. Fun, quick, cheap, easy!
Oh, and I know the photo is dark - that's a dark room, and despite the snow reflecting the sun outside, there still wasn't as much light as I would have liked. But you get the picture!
