My husband gave me some great product tags from his new water bottles and I couldn’t resist recycling them into fun gift tags!

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. This post also contains affiliate links. The opinions I share are solely my own.

The tags are made of plastic and have a great water drop design already printed on them. I started by applying white gesso over the product name and adding some background color with a couple of Neocolor II crayons (Royal Blue and Azurite Blue). I then created my grapes with modeling paste and the Profile with Dots stencil.

Once the modeling paste was dry, I played around with a few supplies to get my grapes the way I wanted. The basic order went like this:

• Neocolor II crayon in Violet rubbed across the modeling paste and then water activated with a brush
• Used my fingers to apply FolkArt Perfect Purple acrylic paint to each of the grapes
• Shaded the bottom of each grape with an Inktense pencil in Violet and waterbrush
• Added highlight to each grape with a white gel pen
• Shaded around the outside of the grapes with an Inktense pencil in Deep Violet and waterbrush
• Added a bit more Neocolor II crayon in Azurite Blue to the tag

To create the grape leaves, I cut out half a leaf shape from leftover Gelli® printed deli paper and added a few veins with the Inktense pencils.

I glued the leaves onto the tags with matte medium and trimmed the edges to fit the tag. I then stamped the word “Cheers” onto a piece of cardstock, punched a hole in the top, added some shading to the cardstock with an inkpad in green, and finally, tied on a piece of twine to the top. The “Cheers” tag was then hot glued to my gift tag.

I’m all set for the next time I need a hostess gift! A bottle a wine is always a good idea in my book!

Thanks for joining me today!
