My bag is a recycled one from last year. I don't know about you, but I always save pretty bags as with a new tag they can look as good as new.
My tag was created using a computer generated label and sentiment. Then using a clear Santa stamp which I've had some years and absolutely love I stamped Santa in the correct position, coloured using Promarkers and then glittered to add some oomph. Then I cut into a tag shape and mounted on to a snippet of red card (yes Jules I'm really trying to not break into new card when I only need a tiny bit) before mounting on white again so that the back could be written on easily. A very simple project easy enough to do even when you just want to curl up and go to sleep.
Alongside Bah! Humbug! my project is also for the following challenges...
- Jules Crafty Snippets - use your snippets
- Crafty Ribbons Challenge - anything but a card
- Crimbo Crackers - make it sparkle
- Creatalicious - make something for Christmas that sparkles
Have a great day.

super creation, thanks for playing along with CRAFTY RIBBONS, x carol
Love the tag Ann, great way to make a recyled bag look as good as new.
Like you I keep and recycle bags'n'boxes ... until they disintegrate ... then I remove any still useable bits like ribbon or text etc for future use lol! Call me stingy but I prefer to think of it as being economical lol!
This is a really zingy bag which is bound to excite whoever receives it regardless of contents.
Luv'n'Stuff
