In this article you will see the most unusual tags for handicrafts. Photos will convey the beauty of these trifles. The most important thing is to know what a business card should contain. It depends on what it is intended for.

Use ready-made templates

The easiest option is to use ready-made templates. They can be painted by yourself, using graphic editors, or from another designer. For example, jewelry tags (the photo is shown below) can be of any shape. The color scheme is chosen at your discretion.

For printing, it is best to use matte paper. It will be possible to write additional data on it. There are texture sheets, which differ in originality and memorable appearance.

Coffee tag from photo paper

This version of the tag is suitable for toys or to complement the packaging with sweet products. First you have to work in a graphical computer program.

1. Make the table in Word and fill it out. What will be written on the tags is your business. We print the finished sheet with the text on the double-sided matte paper. This is the first stage of creating a tag for handmade products.
2. Next, you need a little ready-made coffee and cotton-wool discs. Using a tissue moistened in a drink, walk along the surface of the sheet on both sides. After that, the paper needs to be allowed a little time to dry out. Glossy base for this is not suitable.
3. When the workpiece dries, use the same cotton pad and coffee to make a blob on the sheet. To do this, moisten the tampons and squeeze them onto the paper in random order. Now again it is necessary to dry.
4. The same procedure is repeated on the other side of the sheet.
5. At this stage you need a stronger drink, you can use chicory. Using a toothbrush, you need to spray coffee on the paper from both sides. Drops will ideally lie on the leaf.
6. The painting is finished. With complete drying you will get a very beautiful result.
7. For decoration use small paper buds of roses. We glue them on any edge of the tag.

Kraft paper

To make this option you will need: a figured punch, kraft paper and ordinary color, scissors, ruler, glue and a contour of any color. Tags for handmade products will look great. They are ideal for needlewomen who sew or knit bears.

1. We cut rectangles out of paper and make a hole in the form of an animal using a figured hole punch.
2. From another material, we cut out similar geometric figures.
3. We glue two pieces of a sheet to each other.
4. When the finished products are completely dry, you can sign them, contour or pen.

Thermal transfer printing

There is a piece of paper on which you can print the text and put it on the cloth with a red-hot iron. This material is called thermal transfer paper. This kind of tags will perfectly serve items made from fabric that will not practically be washed. In order to create such elements, you will need: thermal transfer paper, satin ribbon, computer, printer, scissors, iron.

On the tag, you can put the name of the site, your name or surname, the name of the store.

1. In the Word document, create a table and write a title. It is important to remember that the logo should be written in a mirror. When everything is ready, we send the document for printing on the printer using special material.
2. Now take the satin ribbon. It is better to take light-colored raw materials so that letters can be seen on it.
3. We put the printed image face down on the tape. Press down and start ironing the iron until the materials are glued together. Disable the steam function to prevent the sheet from becoming wet.
4. Allow the tape to cool and remove the top layer of paper. The inscription is glued, now you need to leave 2 cm for the fold on the edges of the strip. The finished decorative ribbon is sewn onto the product.

Such a seal of tags for jewelry will not work. For this option, it is better to use other options.

A tag embroidered with a cross

Unlike the previous version, this is good because the products can be ironed and washed. To create such a tag, you will need: fabric (preferably if it clearly shows the interlacing of threads, this will simplify the embroidery), thread, needle, scissors.

We cut a rectangle out of matter. We make the scheme of the inscription, for this we draw each letter with crosses. We proceed to embroidery on fabric. The inscription can be decorated with different elements (such as underlining) or decorated with embroidered flowers. Then we fold the fabric in half. The product is bent and sewed. We turn the tag and sew on the desired product. This option is very convenient and simple. Excellent lends itself to washing and ironing. There are not any minuses in it, you need only a little of your time to make a tag.

Cardboard-fabric tag

There may be fabric tags for handicrafts. The template is presented below. For manufacturing you will need: cardboard, fabric, glue and pencil.

1. Take the cardboard and draw a sketch of the application on the smooth side. You can choose any form of future business cards. We chose the simplest, but no less spectacular. From the scraps we cut out small triangles. They will be used as flags. Three decorative elements look good. We glue the geometric figures down with a corner. It is better to make a ribbon from the middle of the tag.
2. We decorate the tags with warm wishes for our customers. A ribbon for attaching to the product can be made from a harness or satin fabric.

Cardboard and felt sticker

This kind of product is done very quickly. To make several tags, you will spend no more than 15 minutes. Cut out colorful pieces from felt that will imitate vegetables and fruits. Sew them to cardboard tags. Such vizitochki decorate any product. They look bright and original. Of course, you will have to work hard to create them. But the joyful faces of buyers will be your reward.

Business cards from salted dough and hardening clay

Tags for handicrafts can be from a salted dough. They can decorate gifts for New Year's holidays.

And from hardening clay it is possible to make tags, for example, on the sea theme. Such raw materials are inexpensive, so you will not have to spend too much. To make such cards, you will need: clay, lace, figurines, shells, cookie baking molds, rolling pin, board.

Manufacturing simple. Take the clay (dough), roll out and cut out the figurines. We make prints on them and most importantly - do not forget about the hole. The more evenly you roll out the mass, the more you will get the tags. In general, about 15 items of large and 10 small ones come out with one bundle. The average price is four rubles for one piece.

When the clay dries, treat the edges with a sandpaper and, if desired, can be decorated with acrylic paints or pads for a stamp.

The clay tags after full drying are slightly curved, the dough products remain flat. Working with the second option is much easier. They can be used as tags for jewelry.

Lace and cardboard

As you can see, there can be any tags for handicrafts. A template is a geometric figure. They are decorated at their own discretion. Of course, the design itself is affected by the product itself, which is sold. If you do not have the time or the desire to do something original, you can always paste paper with text on ordinary cardboard.

Here our tags are ready. Choose any option, and then you can declare yourself by adding your products. The most important thing is that there is nothing difficult to make such business cards, but the result is justified. Tags for handicrafts will always set you at the fair of applied art. But we suggest not to be such boring needlewomen. It is best to take a plain cardboard and glue a lace of paper on one side. You can arrange printing tags for jewelry, but it will look more attractive.
