Hints & Tips – Tag Buffet

This has to be the coolest semi-inclusive kit I’ve ever come across. It hadn’t been on my radar at all, until my leader demonstrated it at one of her Team Training events. The kit contains enough supplies to make 30 tags and I love the tag layers, the bright traditional Christmas coloured pop out elements […]
