Beach Themed Easy Tag Tutorial

Tag Tutorial for Cherish The Memory : Romantic Summer  

You can find beautiful paper crafting kits at Cherish the Memory's Etsy page here.

This tag was very fun, easy, and quick to make! I typically have a tendency to overdo simple projects and turn them into complicated and intricate ones, but a nice simple project can be a breath of fresh air and when that is needed, nothing can be better than a tag! Tags are perfect for anyone and any occasion. I like to use tags for small gestures or situations in which cards would be too much. A tag is also an excellent way to limit yourself to a small space and will also help you not get anxious over having to cover large spaces, such as that of a canvas.

The materials you will need :

A plain tag 

Raffia and this gorgeous Washi Tape from Cherish the Memory Etsy Store

Creative Embellishments Fence Chipboard or any chipboard fence of your choice (optional)

Tutorial

I attached the raffia through the loop hole and affixed the background from the Romantic Summer Paper Card Kit down with the gold washi. I used the washi to cover the rest of the tag background and affixed the chipboard with mounting tape and craft glue. *The pictures are a bit different because I was indecisive and was experimenting with washi placement* 

Some natural fibers were tucked under the fence. 

Here I decided to add some gold ribbon to the raffia but you can use whatever other color you wish or just add more raffia! You can also see how I continued to over the tag with more washi to make a connection with the gold ribbon.

Don't these beach huts look super cute? I had originally planned on using only one, but had to find a way to add another, so I cut the top portion of one and placed it behind some board paper (included in the kit) so it would look like one was peeking in the background. The ideas are endless here, so I added some color matching flowers, and added more blue raffia to match the tag's decor at the top.

The kit has a boatload of accessories, so you can choose to add the seashells and extra ephemera in the kit around the entire tag as you please. For a beach effect I added cheesecloth, which you can find at any food store. 

And here is my finished product. I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial!
