March 24, 2023. Folded Tag Journal

Quite cloudy this morning and the temperature forecast is only in the mid 50's.  Rain tomorrow but it sure looks and feels like the sky could open and pour down rain any minute.

We are at the beginning of another weekend, do you have any plans?

I was looking for something to do this weekend and I found a ton of Spring Festivals.  

From craft shows, to flower shows, to music festivals, to food festivals, dance festivals, etc., etc., etc.  And  several include special projects for children.  Check out spring festivals near you and see if any spark you interest.  A great way to get outdoors and get some fresh air!

I saw a YouTube video on a fold-up tag project using a manila folder.  I was intrigued enough to try it.  Here it is on the right side of the page held in a belly strip...

And here it is folded...

Both sides had tags...

It's really easy to make but you need to make the folds first and crease them well.  I inked the folds also because you want to leave a small space between the folds and the background paper used for each section.  You can make at least two or three out of one manila folder depending on the size.

Be sure and get outdoors this weekend and breath in some fresh air.  It will lift your spirits.

Enjoy the weekend...

Talk with you on Monday...
