Tag Bean

This was inspired by the tag blanket I saw in a book while absent-mindedly flipping pages at the cutting counter at Treadle.  I think it was One-Yard Wonders.  F loves tags; she somehow finds them on anything and plays with them.  So I wanted to make her a toy that is all tags!



I used scraps of ribbon, just what I had on hand, about 2 3/4" long, but I tried not to make them too uniform.  I tried to use lots of different textures: satin, grosgrain, cotton twill tape.

I also wanted to make it crinkle, because F also loves crinkly things, so I used a piece of cellophane from a box of Stroopwafels ( the crinkliest cello I could find).
