Personalise your ribbon and tags! ::: Tutorial

After many requests on fb i bring you the easy peasy printed ribbon and tags tutorial.

Heres what you will need, click on the products for links of where to buy

To make the ribbon & tags you will need

Cotton twill trim (from Sew Sweet)

6mm silver eyelets (Sew sweet)

DIY rubber stamp kit (ebay)

Eyelet setter (mine is a crop-a-dile)

but you dont have to have a fancy one, you an get them cheaper from ebay just make sure there is a setting for 6mm eyelets

1. Select your letters/numbers using the tweezers that come with your DIY stamp kit place them into position. I place mine in the centre of the stamp. You can use the markings inside the stamp to line up your text before you stamp so you know its somewhere in the right place.

Remember, this is self inking so now all you do is line up the stamp over the ribbon, push down and release!

Tadaaa, your first personalised custom hand stamped piece of ribbon......

Stamp away to your hearts content, be careful...its addictive and you'll want to do 1000s of metres :)

 This is what you end up with, i love love love it. Just think of the possibilities!
You could do some 'Merry christmas' or 'Do not open till 25th' for your Christmas gifts.

The tags are just as easy, ive shortened the text as i didnt want them to be too long on my smaller items.

Stamp your image onto the twill this time leaving about 1.5" at the one end.

Fold the end over to create a loop.

Using the small hole punch on the crop a dile, punch directly through both layers of twill

Push your eyelet through the hole, and set the eyelet in place. Tehse eyelets are ace by the way, the backs have small notches to help them curve so no sharp bits or breakages.

Thats it...all done, you now have personalised ribbon and tags!
