First off, if you have any questions before, during and after this class, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment, I’m here to help!

CLASS PROJECT - Create and upload to the Student Project Gallery below, a hand painted personalized gift tag, to give to someone special in your life, with a meaningful hidden message, poem, prayer or song lyric that you have chosen for your special recipient in mind. Please share your message and who you are making your tag for, its okay if you're making it for yourself:)

(Your hidden message will be added to your tag using a gel pen and will be embedded into a hidden layer of your gift tag.)

The embellishments in the Bonus Video are optional.

Here is your list of Materials: (All my materials for the main lessons of the class are from Michaels)

GIFT TAGS - I’m using brown kraft tags by the Recollections brand from Michaels, size 2.5” x 5.1” but feel free to use any gift tags you have if you like. And easy homemade gift tag is to cut a rectangle from a brown paper bag and punch a round hole in the center of the top of it and your ready to go!
ACRYLIC CRAFT PAINT - The brand I am using in this class is Martha Stewart Satin Acrylic Craft paint but please feel free to use any brand of paint you like. The colors I will be using are:

Poodle skirt (baby pink), Date Night Pink (hot pink), Pollen (yellow) Caterpillar (Chartreuse) and Green Olive (avocado) You will also need some white paint, I will be using Gesso for my white but any white acrylic paint will be great.

3. WHITE GEL PEN- I am using a white Gelly Roll 08 gel pen by Sakura

4. PAINT BRUSHES - I will be using 2 Flats and 2 Round brushes. The flat brushes are sizes are 12 and 6 and my round brushes are sizes 6 and 0 but it’s okay to use whatever small brushes you have on hand, they will work just fine.

5. OPTIONAL SUPPLIES - My BONUS VIDEO shows you how to embellish your gift tag with ribbon, glitter and gemstones. The supplies I used are Diamond glitter glue made by Stickles, all ribbon is from The Dollar Store, gemstones are from my personal stash but Michaels sells lots of gemstones.
