  2. Carfully place a Coluzzle tag template onto the paper, so that the words are centered at the top.

Figure B
  • Chalk around each tag (figure B) with a color that will coordinate with the stickers.

  • Place stickers on each tag. A net and a dragonfly sticker are placed on the 'Bugs' tag. The 'Chicks' tag has a Bo-Bunny Chicks sticker. Place a yellow tulip on the 'Tulips' tag, and a portion of an Easter Egg border is used on the 'Spring' tag.

  • Outline each tag with a black marker.

  • Trim pink gingham paper 1/4 inch on the top, and then mount the pink gingham onto the 12 x 12 inch Kraft cardstock.

    Note: leave 1/4 inch of Kraft cardstock showing at the top.

  • Tear a five inch strip from the second piece of Kraft cardstock, and then mount the strip to the bottom of the Pink Gingham using adhesive.

  • Place the grass border from the Happy Time stickers along the bottom of the Kraft cardstock strip.

  • Chose the photos you want to feature.
