How to Make Vintage Inspired Tags

5 Materials
It's time for another Monthly DIY Challenge! This month's theme was Air-Dry Clay and let's just say my project did not turn out as imagined. My idea was great (or at least I thought), but my execution.....not so much. With that being said, I still felt it was important to share that not all projects turn out as planned. Where there things I would have changed? Yes, but that's the fun part of DIY'ing, crafting and learning.
You can find the full tutorial HERE.
I used Crayola Air-Dry Clay simply because that's the brand our local craft store carried. The rest of the supplies I already had on hand, so the entire project cost less than $5.00.
After smoothing out my clay I used a putty knife to cut and shape the tags. Once I was happy with the shape I stamped each tag with various numbers then let them dry for at least 24 hours.
After the clay was fully dry I applied a combination of metallic paints to give each one the perfect aged look.

    What did you use to attach the tags to the baskets? Paper fasteners, maybe?
