Spring Tag Books

We're super excited to announce this new swap, "Spring Tag Book". We will be making two Spring Tag Books to send to random partners assigned after the signup is closed.

Requirements: We will use a #8 size tag, which is 6.25 x 3.25 inches. Each book should have Spring related elements and use 4 tags. Have lots of fun using texture, color, ribbon, and other embellishments.

Here is a link to a tutorial on how to construct a tag book and some inspiration:

Helpful Hint:  You might find it easier to tape the tags down to your work surface to keep them from slipping... and be sure to leave 1/16" between the tags so they will fold up without buckling. Tissue tape works best for binding the book. The book should consist of four tags accordion folded.

Skill level 3 - Blossoming: Geared toward the artist who is comfortable with most techniques, willing to try new methods and take risks, and include a varied range of techniques and materials, as well as fielding Q&A from group members about their artistic process.

Details:
