How to make Primitive Hang Tags
This is one of the easiest Primitive Crafts to make. All you need is some clip art, modge podge, manilla tags or cardstock and some items you probably have in your own kitchen right now.
When it comes to prim tags, the grungier the better! First step is to find some clip art you like. Primitive icons such as Raggedy Annie, Crows, Saltbox houses, Gingerbreads are very popular for prim tags. Victorian images are also very hot. There are lots of free sites on the internet that where you can get these images from. Do a google search and I am sure you will have several sites come up. Just be sure that the clipart you are using is royalty free, if you intend to sell these tags. If you dont have a printer or prefer some simpler tags, you can just hand print prim words, such as "Primitive", "Homespun", "Simple", "Annies", etc.
Now, go look in your kitchen, because all you need to make these tags is waiting right there. You will need, some instant coffee, some vanilla extract and some cinnamon.
To mix your primitive solution take 1 cup of very hot water. 4 heaping TBS of instant coffee and 4 TBS of vanilla extract. I always like to put a couple of sprinkles of cinnamon in the mix just for good measure, but it is optional. Now, with a spoon, mix up the ingredients well. I find this mix a dark enough mixture for my tastes, but do a test. Dip a piece of card stock or manilla tag into the mix and see if its dark enough for you. If its not, just add some more instant coffee.
Dip your manilla tags into the solution ( if you cant find manilla tags, simply cut some cardstock into tag shapes, generally they are 4 by 2 1/2. Just use a ruler to measure). I usually leave my tags in about 30 min. Then fish them out and lay them on some paper towels to drain and dry.
While your tags are drying, print off your clip art if that is what you are plaining to use and cut out your clip art pictures.
Once your tags are dry, squeeze some modge podge into a foam plate and with a brush ( I use those little black foam brushes, they are inexpensive and you can throw them away when you are through), brush some of the modge podge glue on the wrong side ( the side without the picture) of your clip art. Center in on your tag, and glue in place. Modge Podge dries fairly quickly, so just let it sit for two or three minutes. Take your foam brush and brush a coat of modge podge over the entire front of the tag. This will hold your clip art in place and also help the front of your tags from getting scratched up while in use.
And thats it...you've made some primitive hang tags!
