- Once the base layer is stiff enough, add a few layers of paint to match the colors of the Birds and Butterflies stack prints.
- Cut out a small rectangle from a print in the stack to create a pocket on the front. Adhere it in place around 3 of the edges (leave the top open). Add additional paint to the front of the pocket; set aside to dry.
- Cut out a bird from the stack, as well as 3 circle shapes. Once the paint is dry on the tag, adhere the circles and bird to the front of the tag pocket as shown.
