Easy to Make Shabby-chic Place Names

The internet is full of amazing ideas for Place Names, we toyed with a few ideas before settling on antiqued luggage tags and keys.

For this project I used a bulk load of recycled keys, scavenged in our early Steampunk forays, and bought a stack of luggage tags online.
I also used:
Ink and Quill,
Postage Stamp and Gold stamp pad,
Pink and Gold Organza Ribbon,
Gold spray paint
and the most important ingredient ~ Tea!

I aged the tags first by laying them out on a table and dripping tea randomly. After stamping each one with a faint gold postage stamp I used the stamp pad to antique the edges even more.

The font I designed from a dozen different inspirations and practiced it until I could write free hand. The ink is a nice touch.

I used the gold spray on the keys and tied it all together with the organza. This is a simple and adaptable project that looks incredibly cute and makes a good keepsake.
