I taught a spring themed workshop last month at and the bit I love to do is the arty prep of customising the kit everyone gets.
For this workshop I wanted to do some elegant leaves on the gift bags and so I did some colour tests on paper, and was left with a handful of A4 sheets.
Cue my womble ways of not wanting to waste the paper, so I used my paper punch to create gift tags that I then added names to to finish the bags.
It meant everyone got a unique bag & tag to take away, plus they got to try doing some leaves with a dagger brush as well to make their own set of tags to take home.
Dagger brushes can be a bit tricky to use but you can achieve beautiful ombré colour effects with them once you get the hang of it, so if you’d like a demo comment “tag” below and I’ll show you how 🎨
