Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for me, with the shop and workshops, on top of trying to make it a special time of the year for my two little children. So, finding simple ideas that make a gift POP that don’t take any effort (shh don’t tell!), like this one, are right up my alley.
These handmade Christmas gift tags are a really simple way to dress up a gift. Here’s a quick tutorial how to make them.
You’ll need:
-
blank gift tags (or make your own with sturdy card that’s 11 x 5.5cm and a hole punch)
-
glue stick
-
scraps of decorative paper
-
black pen
-
scissors
I used the circle die for my Sizzix Big Shot machine to cut out the circles but you do not have to have one of these to make these tags. Use a compass, or any small round object and trace around. My circles are 4cm in diameter.
-
First draw the top of the bauble and the line down the centre of the tag.
-
Glue your circle and place it on the tag so it slightly overlaps the black lines.
-
Attach some ribbon or baker’s twine to the top of the tag and write a personal message on the other side.
