I am sharing my shabby chic pockets today. I made these for a swap and filled them with handmade tags and a few goodies. :-) These were a delight to create and my only wish was to have made an extra one to keep. I sure hope the ladies that received them are enjoying!
***Warning this is photo heavy!!***
I made the tags and pockets with manilla file folders. I trimmed the folders to 5 x 6. I stitched the edges to make it a nice sturdy pocket. They have vintage sheet panels on the front and back paired with papers from My Mind's Eye. Each one has been distressed with ink for a slight aged effect. All three pockets are slightly different so be sure to scroll down and see. At the end, I have shown each tag I made you see in the pockets.
I had photo frames that I distressed lightly to highlight a piece of MME paper on this one. I also added a vintage ticket stub which is peeking out on the far left. The roses and leaves are from Prima. I added the baby blue seam binding and a gold twine bow to each pocket.
These are the three tags I made to put inside.
Thank you so very much for stopping by!
