How to Make Summer Fruit Gift Tags
I want you to have fun with the shapes of your summer fruit. I created strawberries and pineapples and used the same stem shape to make both fruits.
Start by drawing your fruit and stem shapes on your sponge. You should be able to create everything you need from one dollar store sponge. Did I mention this craft is thrifty?!
Now carefully cut out your fruit and stem shapes.
Next, paint color onto your fruit and start stamping. Start with your fruit base and let it dry a bit before you create your stems.
When your fruit is a little dry, it's time to add your stems. I like to use both sides of the stem so that I get a little variation in the shape. For example, I'll stamp one strawberry side, turn the stamp over and do the other side as you can tell in the strawberry gift card example.
When your artwork is dry, punch a hole in the top and string your ribbon.
That's it! You're done.
