Recycled Paper Twiggy Tags

We're putting our Christmas tree up on Saturday and I wanted something new to hang on it. Since I'm going to keep the rustic re-cycled look of last year where I used the Dictionary Page Garland and the cardboard snowflakes I wanted to make something similar. Re-used, re-cycled, and cheap!

So in keeping with the theme I took some cardboard tags and covered both sides with paper from an old dictionary (what else) then I sanded the edges and "inked" them with a brown scrapbook ink pad to add a bit of antiquing.

I made a twiggy little tree from some dry old willow branches and cut out a small brown star for the top.

Easy as one, two, three.

The old Hoosier cabinet keeps everything in order.

I plan to use a few as gift tags as well.

I used a glue stick to glue the paper to the cardboard and white glue to glue the twigs on. White glue takes a bit longer to dry than a glue gun but it just seemed to work better for me.

Such a quick and easy decoration! and I'm all for quick and easy and cheap and re-cycled.

Have a wonder filled day!
