Description: How to make primitive-looking hang tags for gift giving.

Recipe for grubby hang tags is as follows:

1/4. c. instant coffee dry
1/4 c. instant tea dry
2 c. HOT water
3 tablespoons of vanilla or scent of your choice
Glitter and or sprinkles
Graphics printed or photos printed
Ground cinnamon

In a mixing bowl mix your coffee, tea, vanilla and hot water. Then add your hang tags and allow them to soak in this mixture for approximately 15 minutes. Next you want to gently remove them and put them onto an un-greased cookie sheet and sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon. Then place into your oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.

Now remove your hang tags from the cookie sheet and lay onto wax paper to allow them to cool for approximately 30 minutes. Now at this point you can add the graphics that you printed out to your hang tags using glue or decoupage, and then add some sprinkles to add some added texture and beautiful effect.
