Tag Art

• Give old clothing tags a new lease of life as appealing pieces of miniature art. There are many techniques that you can use to create your tag art, including painting, tearing the edges, sewing directly into it and creating layers with different colors of printed paper. Stamps and cut-out single words help to make your tag art personal and form a charming paper quilt effect. Placing embellishments onto your tag, such as small clips, metal plates and fibers, help to add texture and interest. Choose a theme, such as a color, motif or vintage theme, for your tag and decorate accordingly. Select ornaments that complement your chosen theme and reflect your personality.
  
  

Scrapbooking

• Clothing tags can be recycled into decorative embellishments for scrapbooking. Decorate your clothing tag accordingly to the theme of your scrapbook page and use it to add extra appeal and texture. Add different shapes, colors and prints of paper, ribbon, netting and other craft decorations to your clothing tag to create stylish scrapbook accents. If your clothing tag already has a picture on it, consider incorporating it into a shopping theme or personal style page, or a page about your favorite things.
  
  

Bookmark

• Recycle your old clothing tags by using them as personal bookmarks. Not only are they useful, but they are also unique and personal pieces of art that help to reflect your personality or chosen theme. Choose a theme, such as reading or even your favorite book, and choose craft decorations that complement it. A bookmark that shows a person’s personality, hobbies and style can make a personal gift for someone special. Make sure that your clothing tag bookmark is completely dry before using it to avoid the pages of your book sticking together.
