For Friday field trip today, I am sharing one last Valentine’s Day idea before the weekend. These are really sweet, easy to make love letter tags made with hearts of dried lavender. I have been on a lavender kick lately – adding lavender to my shortbread cookies, making lavender heart shaped linen sachets, and now…using lavender on gift tags!
Just follow the easy steps pictured and you can have some romantic tags put together in no time flat! There are plenty of options for the ‘love letter’ part… you can use printed paper from the craft store, paper from an old book – an old poetry book is perfect – or, print something from your computer printer.
(1.) Cut a piece of cardstock to size and (2.) glue ‘love letter’ paper to the front of it. (3.) Draw a heart shaped bead of glue onto the front of the card. (4.) Sprinkle dried lavender over the glue and press lightly. ( 5.) Let dry before shaking off excess lavender. (6.) Trim the top corners of the cardstock and use a paper punch to add a hole. Add some twine or cord.
That is all it takes to create a romantic little tag with a wonderful hint of lavender fragrance! Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie xo

Hi Jackie! How Lovely! And yet simple! I can make this! So nice of you to share! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day! Blessings from Bama!
Yes Felecia, you can easily make this lol! Thanks for the sweet words, Jackie
Those tags with handwriting on them are so beautiful! Imagine using old letters or cards to make the tags…and your lavender hearts takes it up a notch too. Visiting via “Found&Foraged” linkup.
Yes Barb! I love using old poetry books pages – they are always easy to find at library book sales! Also, old sheet music. There are so many great ways to make the tags romantic and personal! You can even use flowers you have dried from a special bouquet. :)
These are very pretty! Bet they smell wonderful too! Love your photo, how you staged it. Lovely shot. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Linda! Yes, although any dried flower will do – the lavender also gives that wonderful fragrance! xo
This is so pretty and I’ll bet it smells great!
I love this so much and am always looking for ways to use the lavender that I grow! I will be doing this. Pinned!
Perfect! If you don’t use pesticides, you can use it in baking also! Lavender shortbreads are heavenly! And, of course, sachets! xo
