FAST personalized tags for your holiday gifts, using minimal supplies!
Short process video: https://youtu.be/CQMQ5SJkS-0
Resist tag – use a white crayon to write the recipient’s name on a white tag, then add a little watercolor paint. This will work best on heavier paper like a 3 x 5 index card rather than thin copy paper.
Photo tag – use a photo of your recipient printed on normal printer paper, cut out their silhouette, and adhere to your tag with a glue stick. If you don’t have a photo, remember that your grandma looks just like Viola Davis or Christie Brinkley, and grandpa looks like George Clooney or Idris Elba.
Use the supplies you have around your house. I’m linking to the crayon options below because I think the fact they exist is fascinating. Who knew?
You can order custom mixes direct from Crayon at https://www.crayola.com/splash/products/custom-crayola . You get up to four colors in a 64-count box, that’s 14 of each, for $14.99.
Dick Blick sells a box of 12 large crayons in only white for $4.92 https://www.dickblick.com/items/crayola-large-crayons-box-of-12-white or regular size for $2.67 https://www.dickblick.com/items/crayola-crayons-box-of-12-white . Their price on these is much better than Amazon. If you want to search other retailers, the term is “single color crayon refill.”
If you are not working on white paper, there are also clear wax crayons such as these from Brusho, 5 for $7.90 at Blick https://www.dickblick.com/products/brusho-wax-resist-sticks , which are also a better price than Amazon. The search term is “wax resist sticks.”
