"Junk Your Stuff" - Tags From Packaging Part 2
While creating the "Junk Your Stuff" Paper Bag Journals I used up a lot of stuff but wound up with a boat load of packaging. I cut the packaging into tag shapes of various sizes and started making tags using more of my stash. This will be a several parts series because I have so many tags to make and a lot of stuff to use up. I hope you enjoy and get some ideas. Thank you for watching. :-)

My Billy had arthritis the last couple of years of his life. We used to take him to acupuncture and it helped a lot. At the beginning once a month was enough, but the last few months his sessions got closer and closer together. He passed away at 17 years. Love the tags.

Thanks Samarita. :-) Baylee sees a chiropractor a few times a year and that helps her too. He said at this point she only needs to be seen about four times a year but like you if we need to do more as time goes on we will. I'm glad you had 17 wonderful years with Billy. :-) Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment. :-)

I have been painting in soft pastels for a bit, than decided to go back to mix media. Nothing was going right until I saw your video and realized I did not take out any of my stuff to decorate my pages. The boxes were lined up on my shelves and I completely forgot about them. So thanks, now I can go and have some fun with the stickers, flowers, stamps, etc.

Everything you do is always so creative and outstanding but these tags in particular are right up my alley, i just love these colours! 💜 Our big black ( and lots of grey) boy Duke has just recently found he cant jump up on the bed or couch anymore and has joined both myself and the man who loves me on our morning routine of slowly getting up and stiffly hobbling around until the joints loosen up! 😃 i hate to see him like this but he still enjoys his morning walks with his dad. Its so cold here at the moment so Duke wears his wool lined bomber jacket on his walks and every morning his dad brings his jacket out he gets so excited he briefly turns into a pup again! 😃 not bad for a 13 and a half year old. 😃 thanks for sharing all your wonderful videos, ive been through most of them now.

OK Watched the first one and several others(I have a grocery bag book in progress!) and I was losing steam on the tags BUT, I see that I need to back off, pick a few things and a few tags and then do it! Gotcha! Round 2 tonight! Very inspiring but I have 25 or more years worth of "stuff" to use!

Love watching your videos, gives me hope for my stuff that I am over as well. What mat do you use that everything just wipes off of it?

@BlackbearyForest 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you Renae :-) I'm so glad you enjoy them. It's amazing what you can do with things we have had a long time and it's so fun to use up stuff. The mat I use is a non stick mat by Ranger. You can find it in most craft stores or online at places like Amazon. Here is a link to what it looks like. rangerink.com/?product=non-stick-craft-sheet%E2%84%A2 Shop around for the best price or use a coupon. :-) Thanks so much for watching. :-)

Lovely. Wow! Where do you get all those tags?

@BlackbearyForest 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you Teresa :-) Sometimes I use shipping tags I buy at the office supply store. and sometimes I make my own tags using old packaging or card stock or whatever I have around I feel like making a tag from. You can use a die to cut them or just cut free hand. If you have any tags around you can use them as templates and draw up a bunch to cut out. There are even tag shaped stamps you can use to stamp a tag and cut it out. I would just make my own though if I were you to get started. Thanks so much for watching. :-)

@BlackbearyForest 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for subscribing Amy. I appreciate it. Sari ribbons are strips of waste fabric tied together and sold in lengths of yards that usually the manufacturer did not use to make Sari's which are garments that look like really big scarves worn around the head, shoulders and waist. If you look up "Sari" you can get a very detailed description of what they actually are...better than mine. lol And yes, you can paint the tags without gesso. Thanks for watching. :-)

Sure. I use 2 Red Grapefruit, 2 Navel Oranges, 2 Bananas, 8 - 12 Strawberries, about 6 - 8 ounces of water and cayenne pepper. You will have to modify it to suit your tastes but that is how I make mine. It's great. Hope you like it. :-)

Hi Nena. I do have a die for making tags but all of the tags in the Junk Your Stuff series I am doing were cut out manually by me. Thank you for watching.

@nenamower6499 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your reply! What is your favorite die for cutting tags? Your videos are inspiring me to go down to the craft room and "use stuff up" :-)

@BlackbearyForest 7 жыл бұрын

Sure Nena :-) Well, honestly, my favorite way to make tags is to manually cut them myself. They are fast, easy and not perfect. lol I can make any shape I want and if it's wonky....oh well. :-) But, if I use a die I usually use Tim Holtz "Tag & Bookplates" die. He has several out now with tags I think but that is the one have and use. I do have another die with smaller tags but I'm not sure what the name is. It's by Sizzix though. I can't name a favorite die, I just use what I have or make them myself. Oh....another way and this could be considered a favorite way is to buy shipping tags from the office supply store. You can get a lot in a package and it's not that expensive. Hope this helps. :-) I hope you made it down to your craft room. :-)

Love the tags to use stuff up, but then what do ji do with them so I don’t have a box of them sitting around?

@BlackbearyForest 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Kathy. As to what to do with them...sometimes I give them away in giveaways or happy mail. Sometimes I put them on birthday gifts or Christmas presents. I like to keep them in a vintage sewing draw in my art room just to look at. I put them in junk journals. They are good for trading with other art friends because they are small, easy and fast to make. They can be bookmarks if they aren’t too bulky. Tags are also a way to create small and play with techniques and learn what you like and don’t like. Whatever you can think of you can do. :-)

@Calicokate348 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I don’t have giveaways and don’t know anything about happy mail, interesting concept, but will try the other. Like the idea of experimenting with techniques, though, and can do the rest. Thanks

You are very welcome. :-) Happy Mail is mail you can exchange with someone but mostly it is mail you send to someone for no reason at all with no expectations of anything in return just because you want to do something nice for someone. Have a great weekend and have fun making some tags. :-)

Love these tags I love the color combo especially adding the black. But I don't understand you used up your junk supply to make the tag then you covered it up with large sheet of scrapbook paper just to paint over it all. Seems a shame and a lot of steps wasting your junk supply and scrapbook paper. Would have been easier just to use a tag or not you scrapbook paper?

@BlackbearyForest 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you. It’s all about perspective. What seems a waste to you is a tool or stepping stone to me. I think that scrapbook paper is more waste sitting unused. Each step I take, even if that step gets covered is what lead me to the next step. The “waste” potentially inspired the end result. I rarely consider any step in my creative process waste. It’s how I create. Everyone is different. I use things in ways that may seem wasteful to someone else as a way to use up things I have had for years, to inspire me and to possibly create something that may not have existed if I had not taken each step I take. Yes, it may have been easier but it would not have been as much fun and the end result would not be the same.

Why not give away paper you dont like. Why cover back of tah, only to pain it. Just paint the tag.

@BlackbearyForest 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Patty. There are several reasons. I have given away a lot over the years whether it be donate, giveaways, happy mail or just sharing. Paper pads have a lot of paper in them and there may be a sheet or two I don't care for. Rather than not use something I spent money on I prefer to use it and make something I do like that I can then use in my journals or give away or whatever I like. And, it's a way to help others that may not can afford to give away things they spent money on to see how it can still be used and made into something pretty. Also, when I cover things with paper there are times I will allow some of the paper to show through which is a cool look. And, because this is a "Junk Your Stuff" series I am finding ways to use up things I have had a while and I like the challenge of it. And lastly, I just wanted to and had fun doing it. Hope that helps you understand better. Thank you for watching.
