tissue paper – Try It – Like It

Tag it Tuesday

This week’s Tag it Tuesday showcases a tag made with a mix of creative techniques. It begins with inking wrinkled tissue paper, which is then mounted to cardstock for added texture. The tag is then die-cut, and vellum is stamped to bring in a soft, elegant touch. When everything comes together, the result is a beautifully layered and sophisticated design perfect for various crafting projects!

Here’s a close-up look at the inked wrinkles! While the surface remains flat, the inking technique enhances the texture, giving it the illusion of depth and dimension. This effect adds a rich, aged, or distressed look, making it a fantastic technique for mixed media, journaling, and other creative projects.

*To make the DIY rubbing wax I used clear shoe polish and mica powder in equal amounts.

Make a Fairy Jar or Fairy Lantern of your own with this free SVG file.

A DIY Fairy Lantern reminds me of childhood and stories of fantasy. It is really easy to make this fairy lantern. You don’t need a lot of materials and can personalize it as you desire. I made my fairy lantern in a plastic bottle so it is very kid-friendly and will not break. And, you can recycle a plastic bottle or jar to make your own fairy jar.

Materials:

bottle or mason jar
mod podge (mod podge at Dollar Tree)
paint brush
super glue (super glue at Dollar Tree)
fairy cut out
tissue paper
battery operated flicker light (flicker light at Dollar Tree)
ribbon
decoration

Instructions:

Download the free fairy SVG file.

Start with a clean bottle or jar

Using super glue, adhere the fairy to the inside of the jar. Don’t worry about the glue showing.

Cut the tissue paper to fit around the jar.

Cover the outside with mod podge

Line up the tissue paper and wrap it around the jar. Align the top edge, don’t worry about the bottom, it get’s tucked under. Wrinkles add to the personality, just be careful not to tear the tissue paper. Then cover it again with mod podge. Allow it to dry.

Decorate the rim as you desire. I used ribbon and paper cut out flowers.

Insert the flickering light and you are done!
