Gift Tags | Once Upon a Time I Was a Soap Box – 1

The gift tags “Once upon a time I was a soap box”, as the name suggests, are upcycled from soap boxes. So, we bought these soaps because they looked so beautiful in the supermarket due to the floral illustrations on the package. And we were like “oh, they look so good, so let’s try this brand”. Then, we went home, un-boxed and naturally we couldn’t throw away the boxes. Too good to throw away! We figured one day we could do something with them. So, that day arrived when Şeyda decided to cut them into pieces for gift tags and tie them with threads.

As you can see on the image, there is no standard of sizes or shapes in the gift tags. Because one of the principles of up-cycling in our studio is to let the original material guide you in your design decisions. So, Şeyda framed the illustrations differently as she decided on the forms and sizes.

The package has 5 gift tags.
