Happy Sunday, friends! I’m happy to share this little craft I was working on last week on here—now that it’s officially finished.

The idea came to me quickly. People in Minneapolis have the cutest bikes ever. Most of the time, people are riding these bikes but sometimes you’ll see a particularly adorable one locked up outside of a bookshop or coffee shop or something. I ALWAYS feel compelled to compliment these bikes. But leaving a note felt creepy or weird or something. I dunno.

So, (as if this is any LESS creepy), I designed these little hang tags that simply say, “I like your bike.” This way, I could leave these on the handlebars of adorable bikes I see around town. Did all the lettering myself (some tags came out less ghetto than others). Used a stamp from Paper Source and embossed it with the special stamp powder stuff from there. Finished it with a ribbon, and ta da!

Puck REALLY likes them (although I suspect he just really likes the RIBBON). Wondering if people would buy these in packs of 10 or something on etsy. Hmmm…
