Fall Tag Tutorial by Lucy Chesna
I love to create tags and especially involving fall colors.


Here is a tag I did with a tutorial on how to create your own pumpkins out of circle punches. It’s fun and so easy to do.

Supplies:
6 1/4 x 3 1/8 tag (office tag or cut one out of cardstock)
Patterned Paper
Orange cardstock
Spray mist
Wooden fence from craft store
Circle punches (1 ¼ and 1 ½ inch size punches)
Pop dots
Ink (optional)

Directions:

Step 1
Cut a piece of patterned paper smaller than the tag ; ink it and adhere it to the tag

Step 2
Lay wooden fence on the tag half way and mist it with your choice of spray mist; Pull its up and let it dry.

Step 3

Punch out (3) 1 ¼ circles and (3) 1 ½ circles from the cardstock; Ink them

Step 4
Assemble the 1 ½ circles together shown here; Repeat the steps with the 1 ¼ circles.
