Instructions:

1. Print out the tag pattern below to the size you need.
2. Tear a piece of the white fiber paper and glue it diagonally onto the tag.
3. Tear a strip of scrapbook paper that fits the width of the tag and glue it to the bottom of the tag.
4. Cut out 2 small blue triangles and glue these onto the strip of scrapbook paper.
5. Glue the scrapbook paper onto cardboard. Cut out a larger circle shape and two smaller ones. Try to have a flower motif centered on each circle. Punch a hole in the center of the large circle and insert a brad. Now adhere the circles using 3-D foam tape to the bottom of the tag. Use the image as placement suggestion.
6. Use the Sizziz Sidekick (or other machine compatible with a Sizzlit die) and cut out the friends word. Glue it then onto the tag.
