Wily Wednesday: Dove Gift Tags

Welcome to the first edition of Wily Wednesday, where I will present my wonderful readers with what I like to call "grown-up crafts."

If you're like me, you love crafting, but don't really like the "little kid" crafts. There are more blogs out there than I can count that cater to moms who are looking for crafts to do with their toddlers, but what about us? What about the people who love crafting, but aren't yet blessed with the gift of children of our own?

This is my solution. I've looked and looked and looked some more for inspiration, and I have found quite a few exciting crafts to try.

So if you're as wily as I am these days, feel free to join me in celebrating Wily Wednesday each week (or, more likely, as often as I get the chance).

Dove Gift Tags

I was inspired by Skip To My Lou's Little Birdie Advent Calendar to create these cute dove gift tags. You should really check out her tutorial; it's adorable, but I don't have access to felt right now, so I went in a different direction.

Materials:
Card stock or construction paper (preferably at least two different colors)
Glue
Scissors
Pen or Pencil for tracing
Marker
Little Birdie Template

Step 1:
Print out the Little Birdie Template.


Step 2:
Cut out the patterns.

Step 3:
Trace patterns onto either card stock or construction paper.


Step 4:
Cut out the pieces.


Step 5:
Glue together the pieces of the dove, as outlined on the Little Birdie Template.

The rest is up to you! Have fun with putting on a name, and attaching it to a gift however you want.

Happy Crafting!
