- Paint the strip light blue (two coats should do) set aside until dry.
- Use sandpaper or nail file to remove excess paper from big heart, sand until smooth.
- Glue the 3 small painted hearts on the painted side of the strip, let dry.
- On the other side (not paint) glue the 2 circles to the ends of the strip, let dry.
- Mix a bit of the light blue and grey paint to create a lighter blue/grey colour.
- Using the decorative roller and lighter/blue grey paint and make a pattern on the left-hand side of your tag, allow to dry.
- Using your stencil, light blue paint and kitchen sponge, stencil a pattern on the right-hand side of the tag and allow it to dry.
- Cut an image from your decorative / scrapbook paper. Apply modge podge to the right-hand side of the tag where the image should go. Apply another coat of modge podge over the image and allow it to dry.
- Glue the strip (circle side) to the bottom left-hand side (approximately 5 cm from the bottom) of the tag.
