Materials:
* dominos or metal rimmed tags or cardstock
* approximately 9 inches of cording or ribbon or craft thread or
   plastic craft lacing for each tag.
* beads, embellishments as desired
* glue gun (for dominoes)
* KrylonŽ sealant or embossing powder or Xyron® lamination (optional)
Note:  Since water condensates on bottles, any cardstock tag you
 make should be water-proofed in some way to extend their wear.


Dominoes
Stamping on the non-dot side dominos is a fabulous way to showcase
your art at a party!  We chose, however, to show how quickly
you can create these bottle tags with dominoes, buttons, beads and
plastic lacing. Using Dress It Up® leaf buttons in the fall colors that
coordinated with the domino dots, we removed the shank and hot glued
them on.  We then glued on a black bead and treaded plastic lacing through
the bead. The shiny lacing coordinates with the shiny black paint on
the domino.

Variation:   By using event specific stamp art and marking the event
date on the tag back, you can create a keepsake that can be taken
by your guests as a momento of the occasion.  For instance, stamp
"25" (for a 25th wedding anniversary) and handwrite names and a
date on the non-stamped side of the domino or cardstock tag.

Metal Rimmed Tags
You can stamp beautiful art for your bottle tags, but again we
wanted to show a "quickie" project.  We chose a simple
baseball image to stamp and emboss in various colors.  We
duplicated the stamped color by using matching craft thread
as part of the tie.  See also the variation noted above.
