Birthday and Other Greeting Cards with Tags!

Birthday Cards with tag inserts

 How about making some Greeting Cards with Tags? They are very easy and can be made from a variety of materials...


 We made them at Mencap and they loved the idea of putting a message or greeting on the Tag - a surprise for the lucky recipient when the tag is pulled out...!


 For tags we used a variety of purchased coloured tags, as well common brown luggage labels.

As you can see the "Tag Pockets" were cut out of printed paper and attached to the cards with glue on only three sides.


Ribbons and stickers completed these pretty, fun cards!

Our South African Wall Mural is finished...


Our South African Wall Mural at Mencap, Braintree is now complete...


The super-imposed flag on the map of SA was created by glueing on small screwed-up pieces of tissue paper and the ocean using flat sheets of tissue. 

Our class loved choosing and colouring-in the animals and of course Nelson Mandela had to be included - plus Rugby!

To complete the frame we strung coloured pasta "beads" in loops down the sides and across the bottom edge. 

Having just returned from a trip over there, I can say that South Africa is a beautiful, vibrant country with friendly people and so much to see and enjoy...
Thank you South Africa!
