Gift Tags

This year for Christmas I decided that I would make my own gift tags. Every year I feel like I go to the store and I can never find gift tags in a design that I really like. One year I even forfeited gift tags and just wrote people's names on the bottom of their gifts.

To start this project I found a paper punch in the shape of a tag and various printed papers as well as cardstock in solid colors.


Once I had a bunch of little tags punched out I decided which solids to match up with prints. I then glued a solid and print together. By doing this it provided the tag with a little weight, since the printed paper was kind of light. I then used a hole punch to punch holes at the top of the tags. I had decided that I wanted to use various ribbons and ric rac to hang the tags from. You could skip the holes at the top and just tape the tags on if you want.


Once all of this is done you can design and address the tags however you want.

Here is an example of a wrapped present with a completed tag. I used stamps for the lettering.
