Little Flags

I made these stiff flags from sturdy card and gingham print craft papers.  The flag pole is a food-safe wooden stick which makes them great for sticking in cakes.  

Or how about writing a name on the flag and sticking it out of the top of a Christmas stocking?

Merry Christmas

More sewn fabric gift tags.  

These are made with fabrics I've used previously and the ribbon is printed with 'x Merry Christmas x'

I love the spotty green material with the small floral print, and the pink gingham fabric and ribbon are wonderful.

Little Mitten Decorations

I've made some little mitten decorations from sturdy card and printed craft papers.  

The edges are ink-smudged in silver on the maroon mittens 

and dull gold on the pink and green mittens.

I punched a star-shaped hole to thread thick craft string through for a hanger and tied a pink ribbon knot around it.

Tatty Fabric Heart

This tatty rag heart measures approx 12cm x 12cm. 

Made with four different materials in a pink and green colourway - two floral, one gingham, one spotty - it is finished with a pink gingham bow and hanger and 'Handmade by Tamara Jayne' heart tag. 

Christmas Bunting

A couple more buntings of JOY!

These are smaller than the other Christmas bunting I've shown but that seems to make them all the more lovely.

I have used my vintage-look red gingham paper on the outer flags and a couple of other prints on the JOY flags.  The letters are ink-smudged or outlined with golds.

Then the flags are threaded on to brown crafting string and finished with a bead and loop at each end for hanging, and a simple knot of red gingham ribbon.

Christmas Bunting

More of my bunting!
This one has 'Christmas' in pale green shimmery letters across it and the end flags in red gingham print have a heart-shaped dark green button on them.
The string is finished in a loop at each end and a tiny gold jingle bell.

Hanging Giftcard Pocket

I made some lovely little hanging pockets.  I don't know what the correct term for them is but they have room for a credit-card size gift card, or maybe little love notes to slide in.

These three are made using a paisley print in pale turquoise and reds with a gingham plaque, cream with pink roses and a green plaque, and a vintage blue floral print with a pale turquoise plaque.  Each plaque has 'Hugs and Kisses' written on.

And these two are in a vintage rose print pattern.  The plaque is in a brown spotted print and the wording says 'With Love ♥'

Little Tags

These little card tags are a double layered design with a double layered heart detail.

The edges are ink-smudged in rainbow colours.

Each tag has a plain, slightly textured reverse side and is finished with a rustic craft string.

Home Sweet Home

More bunting, this time saying 'Home Sweet Home'

Patterned papers in pinks, yellows and pale pastels with the lettering in dusty lilac.

Each flag and letter is ink-smudged for the aged look.

Welcome Bunting

More bunting!
This is a welcome sign made using fresh prints.  I love the green spotted paper and selected the other patterns to compliment it.

The letters are cut from purple shimmer card.
It is strung on pink craft twine and finished with loops and pink beads.
