🎨 Make These Gorgeous Mixed Media Tags: A Simple & Joyful Creative Project
There’s something magical about turning bits and pieces—scraps, textures, old papers—into beautiful little works of art. That’s exactly what we’re doing today with mixed media tags!
Whether you’re new to mixed media or looking for a fun way to use up leftovers from your art table, this project is a joyful, low-pressure way to get creative.
Why Tags?
Tags are small, versatile, and just the right size to experiment without overwhelm. You can tuck them into junk journals, attach them to gifts, use them as bookmarks, or just collect them because they’re pretty!
What You’ll Need:
This is a great stash-busting project. Gather whatever you have on hand, like:
-
Old book pages or scrapbook paper
-
Paints (acrylics, watercolors—anything goes!)
-
Stamps, stencils, washi tape
-
Fabric or lace scraps
-
Glue, scissors, and a hole punch
Let’s Create:
-
Start with a base – Cut out a tag shape from sturdy paper or recycled packaging.
-
Layer it up – Add torn paper, paint, stamping, or texture paste. Play with color and shape.
-
Add details – Think stitching, buttons, or a small quote. The charm is in the little things.
-
Finish it off – Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon or twine through.
The best part? There’s no right or wrong. Each tag becomes its own little story.
Creative Tips:
✨ Try a theme—like vintage, floral, or seasonal.
✨ Use your tags to test new techniques or color combos.
✨ Make a bunch and bundle them as a handmade gift.
