  • All the tags are created from the papers from Echo Park. Cut them out using dies, scissors, or paper trimmer. Add a little pull tab from a strip of paper then secure it with a little glue and eyelet.
  • You can use any width ribbon or use none at all. I like the grosgrain ribbon since it stays tied with a single knot better than satin ribbon.
