Homemade Gift Tags Day 6: Button Snowman

What day are we on now?  Day 6?  Alright!  Half way through!  Here’s my Button Snowman Gift Tag.

Ok, I think this one today is my favorite gift tag of them all.  I dunno, maybe it’s tied for another one coming up next week.  You know what I love?  The ripped paper.  Yup, saw the idea on Pinterest, (where else right?) and then I crossed my fingers and hoped I had some thick textured paper hiding somewhere in my craft room.  I really didn’t want to go out to the store just to buy paper just to go home and rip it up!  And voila!  I had some thick homemade-ish paper left over from my wedding – yay for hoarding!

Supplies

3 white buttons – small, medium and large
thick textured white/off-white paper
black pen
scrapbook paper
super glue and craft glue

Building the Snowman

1. Rip the white textured paper to make the “snow”.  I found that the homemade style paper rips well and gives that fluffy look on the edges.  You don’t want it to rip cleanly in this case.  Rip 2 “hills” and layer them for a more dimensional look.

2. Glue the buttons on to build the snowman.  Use super glue.  See why here.

3. Cut out a small rectangle from the scrapbook paper to make the hat, and outline it with the black marker.

4. Dance around and sing Frosty the Snowman!
