Use these handmade grubby tags for any occasion! I have found the primative coffee stained-vanilla scented grubbie hang tags craft idea.  I have tried it and it works great!  Looks so cute and adds a new deminsion to the look of our candles.  Yes, it adds more work too..........but fun work. A creative and artistic release. You can also opt out the instant tea for darker stained tags. There is also a product called walnut crystals which makes your tags the same as using coffee alone. 

A recipe for grubby hang tabs.  It works great.  When I do it, I don't strickly adhere to this recipe. More like dump and dunk, but for those sticklers among you.....here goes......

2 cups of hot water 
1/4 cup instant coffee (dry)
1/4 cup instant tea (dry)
3 Tablespoons imitation vanilla

Mix together.  Soak tags in coffee mixture for 10-15 mins.  Lay on cookie sheet lined with paper towels.  Bake at 200 for about 15 mins.  Sprinkled  lightly with real cinnamon before baking.  You can stamp on them or write on them. A really cool look is old time pictures applied with decoupage.This is how they get that great stained muslin for primitive dolls, too. Sprinkle the wet muslin with cinnamon and rub for a great grubby look.  Air dried the fabric.  Air dry the fabric, don't put it in your dryer.
