Repurposed Cowboy Tag

For Spencer's birthday party last week I made signs for the various drinks like sweet tea, soda, bottled water, juice boxes so the guests would know what was in each ice chest.  Since his theme was a cowboy party I printed just a simple cowboy onto white cardstock to tie the theme together.

After the party was over I had all of these signs that were too good to just throw away and thought I could use the printed cowboy for something else, so I saved them…..  Here is what I did with one of them.  I cut out the cowboy (from the white cardstock), adhered it to some brown cardstock and added a little tag using a couple of sentiments from My Pink Stamper's Boy Crazy stamp set (Yee Haw and Have a Super Birthday) To attach to the gift bag I used jute twine.  I think it looks adorable…..and I knew I'd find another use for them. ☺

I like the length of the tag -- it really adds character to the entire gift bag.  :)

  1. Adorable gift tag. I agree with you, the length is perfect for the size of the bag. I also love the colors you used to color the little guy. Great job and a clever idea...
