Cut a slit in the center of the cardstock for the tag to fit through.  Decorate your strips as you wish.  I cut green cardstock and patterned paper from Susan K. Weckesser.

Attach your tag to the tape on the edge, as shown in the picture.  Make sure your tag is able to move smoothly through the opening.  Take both ends of the cardstock and stick them to each other.
