Make Holiday Tags Like No One ELF!
I wanted to show how it would be easy to change the look of the new Mama Elephant elves, just by hand-drawing them new faces. I took my craft scissors and actually cut out the existing faces, but kept them so I would be free to use them again, should I choose.
Once they were all colored and cut out, I put them to the side and worked on my double-layered tag. For the base layer, I used a cut-out of the classic stripe cover die as a stencil. I turned it so the stripes would be diagonal and used a dauber to sponge in the stripes.
The finishing touches involved adding the sentiments, assembling, and threading the twine.
