Lighthouse Tag

Here's a fast project that makes good use of fun fabrics. Use this idea to make bookmarks, scrapbook page embellishments, etc.

Lighthouse Tag

Materials:

  • One paper tag
  • Small square cut from a fabric print (we found this lighthouse fabric at Walmart)
  • Kreinik Iron-on Ribbon in 6400 Blue Bell (or in a color to match your print)
  • Kreinik Iron-on #16 Braid in 6450 Royal Blue to make the birds
  • Teflon Press Cloth
  • Mini iron or household iron
  • Glue stick

Steps:

  1. Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
     
  2. Glue the fabric swatch to the tag.
     
  3. Outline the fabric swatch with the 1/8" Iron-on ribbon: lay the thread at a starting point, cover with a Teflon Press Cloth, and press for several seconds until the thread adheres. Continue working the design in sections in this manner.
     
  4. Make birds by ironing the #16 Braid 6450 Royal Blue in the same manner.
     
  5. Weave pieces of metallic ribbon through the tag's hole to finish off your tag.
