do you  want to make some for you?
here we go with the tutorial....
grab some of your favorite paints some wood shapes 
and make your own tags!

BTW: I have included A PDF  for you to print as well...see below ...


 Tutorial : how to paint a wood name tag

Step 1:
- glue 2 pieces of wood back to back (to make the tag sturdier)
- place some tape on top (blue tape: to avoid crackings on the wood), grill over the tape a hole
- sand the bird and the hole with sand paper and metal file
- paint with DecoArt paint
- trace pattern with white pencil (drawing included in PDF for birds)
NOTE: you can adapt this idea to any shape in wood...

I decided later to add some glitter...
Simply add glue (with any glue pen) and sprinkle some silver glitter ...let it dry and varnish!
