New Baby Tag Art

Hello Everyone! Today I want to share a really simple and special gift for a new baby. There is a special new baby that I wanted to make a special gift for, including all the really important facts of his BIRTHday! I had a little sneak picture a few days ago on Twitter, now here is the whole thing.





Keep scrolling if you want to see the individual tags up close. I can not take credit for this really cute idea. It came from a book. I have lots of craft books and use them regularly. I love the ideas in this book, and there are sources listed as well as templates.



Here is the picture in the book of the tag art. Mine is a little different, of course. I used what I had and my canvas was not the same size, so I changed it to fit my size canvas. Also, I used paper that I had in my out of control large stash.



This one was a blank cardstock that I stamped with the star stamper in green. I use 2 sided tape to hold most items together. All the tags I eyeballed for size and then cut all the same on a paper cutter. I reinforced the hole (on the back) before using the twine.



The photo tag was printed out from my computer. Obviously my printer needs some help, but I don't think it is as bad in person as it looks in the pictures.....Isn't he a cutie though!!!



I love the ridges on the paper I used for this tag. The L was cut out by hand after tracing the letter onto the paper. I had printed it out in a font I liked and transferred it to the paper. I used an ink pad to get the edges of the square paper colored for a more layered look.



I bought a new tape measure in the sewing department of a store. I cut it and folded it and glued it. I used twine to mark the babies length at birth, gluing it in back.



This might be my favorite tag. I love the look of this one. I printed out the letters and transferred them to the paper and then went over it with a black marker.



For the time tag, I printed out an image of a blank faced clock and used a marker to put the birth time on it.



I cut a few extra tags in plain cardstock and hole punched them. I included extra twine also. This is in case the baby's momma wants to add a footprint. I put the stamp of the cute little giraffe there thinking that would be a good spot to remove the giraffe and put a footprint tag instead.

I checked Amazon and they have the book B is for Baby and it is on sale!!! You know I love a bargain and especially if you have amazon prime (no shipping) this is a deal. This is not an affiliate link, I just put it there for your convenience and because it is a great book for ideas.

Hope you liked this little artwork for a new special baby boy!!!




Have a great day!!!
