Gift Tags

These gift tags are a great idea! They dress up any gift and best of all you don’t need a card. Follow the easy step-by-step instructions.

Materials: Cardstock (any color), decorative paper, scissors or paper cutter (my preference), printer, computer, hole punch (1/8 size), and glue stick.

Step One: Type up whatever you wish to have on your tag in a word processor. For instance my tag reads: Happy Halloween! Thank you for everything.

Step Two: I add some clipart before printing.

Step Three: Print your tag on cardstock (I’ve used white cardstock).

Step Four: Cut out the tag.

Step Five: Place the tag on top of decorative paper or cardstock. (I used green striped decorative paper that I purchased at Michaels).

Step Six: Put a hole in the upper left hand corner of your tag and attach to any gift.

Bag Tags

Design your very own bag tags! Why pay for expensive bag tags when you can create your own! These tags are so cute they will ensure you never loose your belongings.

Materials: glue stick, scissors, cutting board, colored cardstock, white cardstock

Step One: Choose a decorative paper (preferably cardstock for durability reasons). You will need two different kinds of paper as well as white card stock.

Step Two: Type your name in a large font (15-20). Below the name type any information you would like to include. For example, phone number, address, email, etc. Note: Be sure to leave space between your name and information. You will be pasting your name on the front of the tag and your information on the back.

Step Three: Once you have printed out your information on white cardstock cut it out and paste it on colorful or decorative paper. Make sure the decorative paper is just a little bigger. In the tag below, the white cardstock (with the information) was placed over a pink square pattern paper.

Step Four: The last step, if you choose to do so, would be to place the tag on a third type of paper. In the tag below, a bright green cardstock was chosen as the third layer.

Now you have a cute bag tag that can be spotted anywhere!
