My project today is my first attempt at a fabric tag. It is a larger size tag. No sewing involved. Everything was attached with FabricTac glue.
For the base, I glued two pieces of felt together and then covered it in a lacy fabric. I used two pieces of felt to provide a sturdier base. A ruffled trim was added to the edges. Next came various other pieces of lace and trims around the edge. Appliques were glued to the tag. Then, the embellishing began. The flowers, frame and butterfly are from Prima. A seam binding bow was placed at the bottom accented with a pearl cluster. Little leaf-like pearl accents were placed at each corner. A seam binding loop was attached to the back for hanging.
You may notice that the ruffled trim has an iridescent quality to it. Gives the tag some added sparkle.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate the kind comments you leave. Wishing everyone a relaxing Sunday and an enjoyable week ahead!
Wow, how gorgeous is this! I love all the lace and the intricate details.

Oh I just love the idea of a fabric tag Patty! I saw a grab bag full of fabric bits at the second hand store and should have grabbed it, darn it all! This is so gorgeous, all the laces and fabric and trims, wow!! So shabby and feminine and so soft and lush too! Love the pale peach background and delicate trim! All the flowers and that amazing glittery butterfly! WOW WOW WOW!! This is definitely a favourite of mine Patty! sending hugs :)
ReplyDeleteOh Patty, this is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYour fabric tag is so pretty, Patty! What a great idea to cover the felt with the lovely lace! Wonderful butterfly within the frame and pretty ribbon, too!
ReplyDeleteWow! Patty, your design is amazing, and I know it must have taken a lot of time and patience! (Although I use it, Fabric Tac is not my friend, but then I am not a fan of glue!) I love the butterfly in the frame--such an wonderful touch among all this lovely lace and pearls--breathtaking! Hugs
