I need some good luck to come my way so when I stumbled upon this Jenni Bowlin “LUCKY”  BINGO tag I was completely drawn to it!  I rummaged through my stash and found this awesome fabric tag with a black damask print.  It’s another one of those things I have no clue where it came from but finally put it to good use!  The envelope and card was a set of Valentine’s Day cards I picked up at Target a few years ago for 90% off  – very vintage and funky l0oking!  The envelope was inked a bit with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The flower was made by fan folding (or some people call it accordian folding) a piece of 4″x6″ tulle paper.  I glued the edges and then added the silver button to the center.  I then gave the flower a coat of spray adhesive and sprinkled clear fine glitter and tapped off the excess.  The edges of the flower were crinkled a bit and a black tulle bow was tied and the ends frayed – I then used my hot glue gun to add the flower to the top of the bow.

The heart was made by using a wooden heart cutout for the base.  I then just rummaged around in my craft stash until I found a bunch of broken jewlery pieces and mismatched buttons, beads and silk roses.  I then covered the entire front of the wooden heart with Beacons 3-in-1 glue and started adding the items until the whole thing was covered.  Once dry I applied a topcoat of Mod Podge to seal it.

The ribbon at the bottom was made by first attaching the leopard print ribbon and then a strip of black pom pom fringe underneath.  I attached the beaded heart to the edge of the ribbon and card  at the very end and added a piece of black ribbon scrap to the top of the tag.  This tag looks adorable pretty much anywhere and I just love the way it turned out!

I hope you like it and are inspired to start using up some of those extra..THINGS in your craft stash!

Olive a funky craft idea, don’t you?
