DIY: KRAFT PAPER BAG GIFT TAGS

Tuesday, March 15, 2016



Sometimes the best ideas spark when you're rummaging through your college craft boxes... literally! This is the perfect way to recycle brown kraft paper bags and use your excessive amount of paint color swatches that you've been hoarding (admit it, you know you do...) Put together this DIY in less than 5 minutes for the perfect finishing touch to your gift bags or boxes!

MATERIALS:

+ Brown kraft paper bag
+ Gift tag punch
+ Paint color swatches
+ Hole punch
+ Scissors
+ Glue stick
+ Marker
+ A cat or two to keep you company (optional, but highly recommended)


Step 1: Use the gift tag punch on the side of the kraft paper bag. One punch on the side should get you two or three tags at once from the layers.
Step 2: Cut strips from the paint color swatches or any other fun shapes! Glue these onto the tags.
Step 3: Use the hole punch at the top of the tags and customize with your marker!



Use fun colors for birthdays and colors coordinating with holidays to have gift tags for any occasion! We would love to see your creations use #rayandablog so we can see your take on this DIY!

P.S. - This DIY could not have been possible without the company of cats Skipper and Binx. We couldn't have done it without their constant interruptions of playing and laying on literally everything.

National Cat Day!

National Cat Day!

Happy National Cat Day! Sorry dog people, today’s all about our friends of the feline PURR-SUASION. In celebration of one of our favorite holidays, we’re featuring our little furballs today and giving them their big breaks...


MEET SKIPPER!

Master: Rachel
Favorite Activity: Sticking his nose in a Sherpa blanket and purring loudly. So loud I'm pretty sure everyone in our town can hear him. Also getting his picture taken, as you can see. He's the most photogenic cat I've ever had.
Alter-ego: Kevin Malone from the Office because he's silly and loves to eat!
Treat of Choice: Nothing. I'm not sure what his deal is. Normal cats love treats...
Pet Peeve: Tummy rubs. He is not about getting those. Ever.


MEET MINDY!
Master: Alisa
Favorite Activity: licking and scratching. She literally never stops.
Alter-ego: Beyonce, AKA, the Queen B. Girl's got sass.
Treat of Choice: leftover cereal milk
Pet Peeve: plastic bags and spray bottles. GET. THEM. AWAY. FROM. ME.

Not sure how to celebrate or treat your little furry friend? PAW-LEASE… Here are 5 ways to celebrate National Cat Day, but surely you can think of other ways to love on your cat today (and always!)
