Artist Dawn M. Cardona loves finding magic in the everyday, and in this class, she shows you how to turn a humble gift tag into a tiny piece of art. With two sweet, customizable papercut birds and a clever perforated design, this tag is made to be admired—not tossed. It can be gently removed and framed, turning a simple gesture into a keepsake that’s meant to last.
