DIRECTIONS:
On the tag,
mark dots of the placement of the letters with the pencil. Use the
paper awl or a T-Pin to pierce the cardstock and make holes for
the wire to go through at the start and ending of the letters.
Cut the wire
into 9 lengths. Secure the beginning ends of the wire on the
back of the tag. Pull wire through from the back to start forming
the letters. Twist & curl the ends of the wire to make them
more decorative. Cut off excess wire. Set aside.
Cut the 12
of colored wires into 6 pieces. Take one of the 6 lengths
and string some E-beads on. Carefully wrap the wire around the
wreath, making sure the beads are showing. Add more beads as you
go until you reach the last 1 of the wire. Wrap & curl the
end of the wire securely onto the wreath. Repeat with the other
colors of wire. Wrap and curl some of the wires onto the wreath
without any beads on. Use the last 2 wires to secure the wreath to
the tag. Pierce a set of holes into the tag and twist the wire
around the wreath and onto the tag.
Make a small
bow with the Ό ribbon and glue to the wreath. Use double-stick
tape to attach the decorated tag onto the colored cardstock.
Center the tag onto the cardstock. Trim the edges of the cardstock
with a decorative paper edger. Use the Ό hole punch to make a
hole in the cardstock by the tags hole. Slip knot the fibers
into the holes.
Another option is to attach a pin back behind the wreath and pinning to the tag.
