Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of kraft paper to the desired shape and size using a paper trimmer or scissors. For this project, I recommend a 2 x 2-inch square. Using a paper trimmer will make it easier to cut a straight line. I used 65lb. kraft paper, however, you can use heavier-weight kraft paper like 80-100lb. or any card stock if you already have one. When the paper gets thicker, it's a little harder to punch a hole. But if it is thin, the tag gets bent easily. 65lb. is the minimum in my opinion.
2. Using a stamp set, stamp a design onto the paper using an ink pad. You can choose any design you like.
3. Use a hole punch to make a hole in one of the corners of the tag. Make sure the hole is large enough to fit the jute cord. 
4. Cut a piece of jute cord to approximately 7-8 inches in length. Tie a knot at one end of the cord. 
5. Thread the other end of the cord through the hole in the tag, and loop it back through the knot. 
6. Attach the tag to the bracelet. 

And there you have it! With just a few simple steps, you can create beautiful handmade tags for your DIY bracelets. Happy crafting!

Instructions:

1. Take one #4 coffee filter.
   
2. Fold both sides inwards towards the middle to create a glass shape.
   
3. Tear the kraft paper and the newspaper print paper into strips. The kraft paper strips should be approx. 1 inch wide and 8.5 inches long. The newspaper print paper strips should be approx. 1.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches long.
   
4. Layer the torn newspaper print paper on the bottom and the kraft paper on top. Glue the layers together with a glue stick.
   
5. Wrap the layered paper strips around the folded coffee filter.
   
6. Secure the layered paper strips to the back of the coffee filter with staples.
   
7. Use a hole puncher to make holes on both sides of the coffee filter.
   
8. Wrap a jute cord around the layered paper strips from back to front. Tie a knot on the front of the coffee filter for decoration.
   
9. Staple the jute cord to the back of the coffee filter to secure it in place.
   
10. Cut a jute cord to approx. 11 inches. Thread one cord end through one hole of the coffee filter from the outside to the inside. Repeat the process for the other end.
    
11. Tie a knot or two on one end inside the coffee filter to prevent the cord from slipping out. Repeat the process for the other end.
