| Here are a handful of Christmas
gift tag ideas. |
|
Using pinking shears to cut pictures from used Christmas cards. Use a
hole punch to make a hole a the top of the picture. Write your message on
the back of the shape. String the card with ribbon and tie to your package.

Paint the corrugated side of cardboard with water based paint. Let dry.
Cut shapes such as trees, bell or stars out of the cardboard. Punch hole
in the top. Write your message on the back. Tie to package with ribbon.

Iron on adhesive backing to the back of Christmas print fabric. Cut Christmas
shapes such as bells, stars, angels, etc. from the fabric (use our Christmas
patterns, trace them onto the back of the fabric). Center the cut-outs
over the front of a plain card or a piece of cardboard. Iron on. Edge the
cut-out with 3 dimensional fabric paint, gold felt market or glue on rick-rack.

Cut several old Christmas cards up into tiny rectangles or triangles.
Glue the pieces onto a piece of cardboard to cover it. Make sure the backs
of pieces are blank. (You can use our basic shapes
if you like.) Cut out the shapes. Punch a hole in the top of each shape.
Write your message on the back. |
| |
Create cookie tags. Use any gingerbread or sugar cookie recipe. Shape
the cookies as rectangles or basic Christmas shapes. Before baking, make
a hole in the top of the cookie with a toothpick. Make sure the hole is
big enough that it won't bake shut. When baked and cooled, use a decorator
icing set and royal icing to write your message on the cookie. Secure the
cookie to the package with ribbon. |

Use a piece of rectangular corrugated cardboard. Paint the entire corrugated
surface of the cardboard with water based paint. Let dry. Fold the cardboard
in half, corrugated side out. Trace a Christmas shape onto one side of the
cardboard. Cut out using a craft knife. Write your message inside the card.

Select a favorite family photograph. Photo copy the picture onto card
stock. Cut out, punch a hole in the top and write your message on the back.
This method can also be used to create unique Christmas cards. |

Make several copies of your favorite family photo (no larger than 4"
x 6"). Cut rectangular cards from plain card stock. Cut them 1" bigger on
all sides than your photos (for example, if your photos are 4" x 6", cut
the cardboard into 5" x 7" pieces). Using a craft knife, cut diagonal slits
in all four corners of your cardboard and insert the corners of your pictures
into the slits. Or, glue store bought photo corners onto the cardboard and
then insert the photos. Write your message on the back of the cards (it's
best to do this before you insert the photos). Again, this method can be
used to create personalized Christmas cards. |
