A few weeks ago I wrote about the craft items available at Target’s Dollar Spot. The gist of the post was that some of the items crafters are buying there, they could easily make themselves. I purchased three different packs of Valentine’s Day tags and then duplicated them myself. 

I would never use the three packages of very uninspired tags left the way they were. I decided they needed some altering to take them up a level.

Altering these tags took only minutes and cost me nothing. I think they are much more fun and worthy of giving than the way they originally started. 

If you like to craft and have purchased items that are a little less unique than you like, take a few minutes to “make them your own”. Break out your die-cuts, stamps, stickers and washi tape and get “crafty”!
