Easy DIY Flower Gift tags!

These pretty paper flower gift tags are inexpensive and perfect for any occasion! This easy project is kid friendly as well!

You'll need:

• 1/8 inch hole punch

• Paper gift tags 3inches long or larger

• Paper flowers

• Brads in silver or gold

Step 1: Punch a hole about 1-1.25 inches from the end of your gift tag. I am using a 3 inch gift tag and a 1/8 inch hole punch.

Step 2: Choose 3-4 paper flowers in different sizes. Starting with the smallest flower, slide onto the brad. The flowers should come with pre punched holes to make this easy! NOTE: the flowers will have a front and back, The front if the side cubed up and you will want to put the brad through the front side so the petals curve upwards.

Step 3: put the brad through the hole in the tag and bend the legs of the brad flat. NOTE: You can cover the legs of the brad with a little white sticker or round kraft sticker!

This is our first in a series of "Secret Stash" soaps that we will be offering first as Instagram Giveaways, then for sale. The soaps in the series are the soaps that I make for personal use for me and my family. They are labor intensive and filled with luxury ingredients that honestly would make them very expensive to sell. To make this "Castile" soap, 17 weeks ago I started double infusing Organic Olive Oil with Bay, Elder, Hops, Fennel, Lavender, Lemongrass, Calendula, Peppermint Chamomile and Cinnamon. 

3 weeks later I made a limited edition soap scented with a light blend of herbal essential oils and a small percentage of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil to boost the lather and cleansing properties. This soap has been curing for 14 weeks! To put that in perspective our soap bars cure for 3-4 weeks but the high percentage of olive oil in this soap makes a very soft bar of soap out of the mold and requires a longer cure to harden. The resulting bar is ultra moisturizing and gentle - I love it as a facial soap!

So it is a new year and that means new postal rates! International shipping rates skyrocketed this year so before I deliver the bad news, I want to start off with a nice comment about the shipping from a customer in Sweden.

Me:

"...Sorry the shipping is so expensive!..."

Customer in Sweden who just paid $23.95 to ship for 6 bars of soap:

"Hi Erin! Thanks for setting this up for me :) Don't worry about the shipping, your products are so worth the money even with increased shipping prices! And it feels great to buy things from a real person :) it's not very easy to find great handmade products that lives up to my expectations here in Sweden, so I'm very happy that I found Naiad to make my showering so much more enjoyable <3>
