The tags hold the recipes. Ingredients on the front, instructions on the back.
I used the DCWV Christmas matstack from last year or maybe 2 years ago.
I kept the decorations simple. The only embellishment is ribbon used for the tag pulls and to tie the whole book together.
I did some doodles and dots and stitching and such with my Speca pens. They doodle gorgeously. Love them.
I typed up the recipe on the computer. The most time spent on this whole project was on sizing each recipe to fit on a 2 x 4 inch piece of paper.
I kept it simple by using the same font throughout the whole book, but I did shrink the size or enlarge it to make it fit into the size available on the tag.
Here you can see the ribbon pull tabs I created by sandwiching a length of ribbon folded in half, between 2 pieces of cardstock. I staggered them from tab to tab, so they would more visible and easier to grab.
I think the finished project is adorable, recycling at its best. I will enjoy pulling it out with the Christmas decorations each year.
