Crate Harvest: Homespun Hanging Open Book Tags

As we continue with the festive Crate Harvest undertaking, Marie Lottermoser has come up with a de'lightful tag arrangement creatively situated for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's "homespun" all the way!

.......

I have to admit when it comes to decorating, I am usually the kind of person who skips right from Halloween to Christmas. This year I am taking time out to make some Thanksgiving decorations, and what better place to start than a big pile of leaves from the Open Book collection. There are so many style to choose from including cardstock, vellum, glitter and gold metallic.

I started out by using the leaves to make tags, each one different from the next, but all in the same fall color family. I used a tiny attacher to adhere the leaves, and then added a hanging string through a hole in the top of each tag.

Next, I hung the tags from a strand of lights, which I strung across a piece of barn wood.

You could also use tiny clothes pins or fishing line to hang the tags, but I liked the rustic look of the loose strings. I have to say the metallic and glitter leaves really sparkle in the glow of the lights.

So pretty! Hanging them on the barnboard with the white fairy lights is just the perfect way to display!
