2 in 1: A Gift Tag and An Ornament

I made these skates for my sister-in-law who loves handmade, crafty goodies.  She is extremely generous and thoughtful and always gives the most original gifts.  She skated quite a bit as a girl, so I thought these would be perfect for her.  I plan on using these as a gift tag on my gift for her, then she can hang them on her tree if she chooses.  I wrote 'To:' and 'From:' on the back in white gel pen.  I love the look of the glitter on the blades and the bow/laces. 


Recipe
Skates - cut from Winter Woodland; the base image was cut multiple times and layered to create a sturdy die cut
Patterned paper - scraps from my stash
Cardstock - DCWV Textured Neutrals; Recollections
Extra fine glitter
Black Creative Memories marker for stitching
White Gelly Roll pen (not shown; on flip side)
Cording from Michael's
