Lucky Labels


Do you get these labels/tags when you buy yourself
a new pair of jeans, shirt or bag?


Keep them useful and turn them from
blah to TADA!


Jazz them up with punched out paper
or
abstract embroidery
.

Tada!
You've got yourself a set of bookmarks!

  1. This is so cool. I have often looked twice at the labels that are attached to clothing, wondering if it was worth keeping them. And then they ended up in the bin nevertheless... The next label will be carefully and nicely reused like yours. Great idea!

  8. These bookmarks are so fantastic ~ especially love the random embroidery. Last year I went to a memorial service for a woman I didn't know very well. Her family had set up a display of all her favorite things. One of them was her collection of over 200 bookmarks. It was very sweet. Have a great weekend.

  10. So glad you could stop by Glenda! What a nice story you shared about the Lovely Lady and her bookmarks. I'm sure she had a beautiful life! A display of favorite things is a great idea -- tells you about the life of a person even if you weren't that close. Have a good weekend, too :)
