Singed Craft Paper Tags


These little tags take advantage of the natural look of that great craft basic, craft paper and adds a little fun with singed edges. Perfect for Halloween or Harvest labels, they are simple and fun to make. **

Things you’ll need:
Craft paper bags
Scissors
Hole punch
Candle and match
Hemp twine

Things to do:
1. Cut the paper bag into appropriately sized rectangles. Err on the side of a little big, they will be slightly smaller after singeing.

2. Light the candle and lightly run the edges of the paper through the flame, immediately blowing the flame out if the paper catches. The goal is to darken and roughen the edges of the labels only.
3. Punch holes 1/4 inch in from each side. Add text to the labels.

4. String twine around the items to be labeled and pull the ends loosely through the holes. Tie oversized knots that wont pull through the holes and then trim away the tail close to the knot.

** Always use caution when working with an open flame. Have a bucket or water and/or a fire extinguisher handy and keep children well away.
