Goose Shaped Gift Tag

Simple goose shape on a narrow offset base 
can function for many gifting occasions,
including as herald of “Six Geese A-Laying”
 from the Twelve Days of Christmas. 

Tag back base has perforation line across neck
 to allow back to bend outward to reveal 
message space behind front panel, 
if desired, with slot for narrow, soft ribbon 
to insert and tie. 
Tag measures approx. 2.8” wide x 2.75” tall. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A front tag base
B back tag base (with perforation line; shown reversed)
C goose body base   D wing accent
E beak accent   F under-breast contrast show-thru
G eye dot accent
2. Position and attach wing and beak on top of
body base where edges correspond.
Also position the breast under accent onto the backside.
3. Position and attach the body assembly onto
tag front, taking care that the ribbon slot remain
visible and accessible next to the goose's neck.
Position and attach the eye.
4. Prepare the tag back shape by bending forward
 at the perforation line.
5. Position the tag back behind the tag, with the upper
portion aligned at top, and glue ONLY the upper portions
together, back to back.
6. Thread narrow ribbon through the front neck slot,
then re-direct around the neck back (front of tag only)
to tie neat knot and bow; trim ends.
7. Attach twine loop through hang hole (add
decorative bead as desired) and form hanging loop
as desired.
Here is the completed goose tag to attach to
Twelve Days of Christmas gift - or other gift.
