Smashed Peas and Carrots: TUTORIAL: How to Make Your Own Hang Tags with Silhouette Sketch Pens and August Promo!

Have you ever used the Sketch Pens for the Silhouette cutting machines? Oh man, they are so rad. Silhouette came out with a whole bunch of fun colors for their sketch pens and they are really fun to play with.

You can see they even have glitter pens! And gold, bronze, and silver color pens as well as a white one which is fun to do on the black vinyl to look like chalk!

To use the sketch pens, just pop out your blade and replace it with a pen...easy peasy!

To make these fun hang tags with my shop logo on them, I just uploaded my logo as a black and white image and traced it in the Silhouette program. From there I just "cut" it out, using the sketch pen in place of blade so it would draw the image. Then I used the hang tag that comes free in your Silhouette library, centered each tag around my images, and cut the tags out as you normally would. Just remember to leave your paper in place between sketching and cutting so everything lines up nice and tidy! Aren't these tags cute!
