Handmade Burlap Ornament Gift Set

Hello again friends, it's time for the monthly Samantha Walker

Creative Team Blog Hop and the theme this month is Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas.

I always love making ornaments as gifts, one year I created a full

set of cupcake ornaments, and I usually do an exchange as well. This year

I decided to make some vintage style burlap ornaments using the 

Samantha Walker 8 Piece Tag SVG Set. 

Take heavy duty overstock paper I used metallic paper. 

"Ungroup" tags and choose style you want with open area in the middle. 

Trim out 2 of each. 

 Using the middle cuts you will throw out or save, use as template

and cut burlap slightly larger to fit into frame. 

 Adhere both sides of tags to each other with burlap in the center. 

 Add snowflake or flowers, then add gemstones to each side. 

You can use leftover burlap strands to hang ornaments,

 I folded it over 4 times and tied it. 

I also hot glued a burlap bow to the bottom. 

They have a very soft vintage style perfect for any tree really.

They will announce the Blog Hop Winner on Monday, 12/15 on Samantha's Facebook Page.
