Brush script expert Becki Clark shows you how to make these rustic looking place name tags. Can you believe these are created with old cardboard boxes? It’s amazing how classy you can make things with a little Extra Fine Brush script.
These place names will look fabulous on your festive table. They will also look amazing as gift tags. Plus creating them is a great way of practising you brush script.
You will need
To create your recycled place-names with PIN you’ll need some cardboard, ribbon, a pair of pinking shear, a hold punch and of course your PIN Extra fine brush pen.
Make your recycled place-names
So grab your old cardboard boxes and let’s go.
Cut rectangles out of the cardboard using the pinking shears. We know this is a bit fancy but this will give you a waved edge. This zig-zag edging help make the cardboard look a bit jazzier rather than when cut with normal scissors.
Add your place names
If you haven’t tried brush script with our Extra Fine Brush, check out Becki Clark’s lettering tutorial here.
Taking the extra fine brush pen add your names onto the cardboard, you can create the brush lettered style by adding more pressure to your downward strokes and less pressure on the upward stroke.
You want a contrast of line thicknesses to ensure you create a brush lettered look.
Finish it off
After you’ve written your names, add your holes through the cardboard. Now thread a ribbon through the hole and your place names are ready to adorn the festive table!
