Tag Maid Milking Large

This larger size tag with many details features 

a charming maid in country costume 

gracefully holding a milk pail. 

Details are created by layering cut shapes 

in sequence on base silhouette. 

Themed tag is perfect for Twelve Days of Christmas gifting, 

or other special occasions. Coordinates well with 

“Milk 3D Bottle Container” and “Tote 3D Gift Two Pint Jars”.

Offset design base layer includes top center hole punch 

for attaching twine or narrow ribbon loop. 

Tag measures approx. 3.8” wide x 6.25” tall when assembled. 

(The thumbnail below represents more accurately

the skirt and apron positioning.)

a. hat onto silhouette

b. hair onto hat and silhouette (pigtail extensions)

d. eyes and mouth show-thru shapes inside head

window

e. face onto head/neck base (use fine pencil to

trace over eye brows, nose)

f. hair base onto top of face

g. hair overlay onto right side of hair base

3. Position lace edge under skirt edge,

on lace with bottom corner/edge of skirt, and then

duplicating the margin established at that corner

between skirt edge and top of lace loops

across the full width of lace, and glue in place.

(NOTE refer to the drawn thumbnail at beginning

of this post for actual best apron positioning),

then position dress bodice over dress base

and top of apron.

5. Position and attach the bodice onto the body

Also position ribbons over hair extension

near ends.

6. Position and attach the dress/apron assembly

onto the body silhouette assembly, then . . . 

. . . position and attach the arms pair unit

with top ends overlapping the lower edge

of blouse sleeve shapes. (Soon the hands

shape will be placed over the end of arms unit.)

7. Position and attach the sleeve circles over

the end of the arms ends and silhouette.

8. Position and attach the bucket rim over 

corresponding top curved edge of bucket base, 

then . . .

. . . position the bucket at figure front so that

handle overlaps about halfway up the hands
