The magazine I chose to cut up (in places) was the August 1953 Show magazine, which sold originally for .10 cents. I made more tags than I’m showing here, but the lighting at my place is just weird. Most of the photos were blurry. Too bad, but you get the idea. In case you missed it, check out how to make these.

For my first tag, I choose an ad for the New! 1953 “Space Commander” Vibro-Matic Walkie-Talkies (2 Phones only $1) Thrills & Fun Galore!

Then I picked some images from the story, “Degas Comes to Harlem.” I like the round tag above best. I love that it has a page number on it in the lower right corner.

I also chose to make some tags from the story, “Guide to Paris Clubs.” These were some wild images. That’s another thing I like about projects like this. I had no idea mags in the 50s talked so much about sex. My, my. I got the wrong idea from Leave It to Beaver.

Will you try your own vintage gift tags?
