Tag Crate

So as I have been making my tags I realized not everyone has the capabilities to make a drawer.   Then besides that not everyone wants to spend the money for an old sewing cabinet, which could be pricey, just to pull the drawers out.  If you are a hunter............go flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores where you may be able to find just a lonely sewing drawer.  But if your impatient and want one now I have an idea.

Our local winery has an awesome gift shop.  You can buy little crates for making your own little gift basket of wines or jams.  So while I was there I picked up a few.  Not very expensive.  I think the smaller one was about $3 and the larger $5.

The smaller one measures (outside dimensions) 3.5"x8.25".  It can hold tags that are 2.75 inchs wide. The larger one measures 4.5"x11" and can hold tags 3.75" wide.

To see how these 2 compare to my homemade drawers here you go:

The larger one is pretty close but the smaller one could make a real cute gift of Tags for someone special.  I also know that Michaels has some of these little crates too so you really don't need to go to a winery.  Though who wouldn't want to go to a winery???  Its a fun place to visit even if you don't drink wine since they nearly always have a gift shop and Oh wine tasting too.

I am not sure if Hobby Lobby carries the crates but they do have a wide assortment of drawer knobs so be sure to check that out too.

Til Next Time........................

HAPPY CARDING!
