Description:

With permission from @juliajae I'm going to continue her excellent series of City tags. I'm going to keep her list of cities, and add my own to them as well.

Let's make a tag book of world cities, one city at a time.

1 tag for 1 partner

This is the fifth (5th) in a world cities series. This swap will be for Mexico City.

Chunky, danglies, stuff sticking off the sides is AWESOME! Tags aren't stuck in anything - I hang them free from a binder ring - so embellish to your heart's content. That's the fun of making these!

Details:

  • Standard, easy to find size of a #5 tag (measures 4 3/4" x 2 3/8"); buy them at any office supply store (cheap!) or make them yourself, but make sure they are at least manila folder weight.

  • Check to make sure you are using the right size, and that there is a hole in top to fit on our rings.

  • The top corners are tabbed.

  • Decorate BOTH sides - of course, the front will be the main focus, but the back should have some corresponding decorating on it - plus the regular type of identification (just smaller).

  • Put at least 3 types of ribbon, string, or other "pretty" through the hole.

    • Give hearts for the WOW factor. Extra's NOT necessary.

Hi, I'm a bit new to this business of tags and I would like to know if a tag must have certain measures, especially the tag you want to do for this swap. Thank you, a kiss. Really nice swap, hope to participate.

For inspiration, try googling "images of altered tags".

Hi, about the tag size, could you please give it in centimeters as well? I have never heard of a #5 tag, what is that? And what is "manila folder weight"? Sorry, I'm European!! Help!!

PS. Denmark is not a city, it's a country:-)
