There’s something incredibly therapeutic about sitting in front of the fire creating something lovely.
And with these simple tags, you can add a personal touch to Christmas gifts without spending lots of time and money.
Here’s how:
What you’ll need
- A selection of offcuts of cards and paper
- Ready-made tags (optional)
- A hole punch
- Ribbons
- Christmas buttons or embellishments
- Double-sided tape
- Black pen
Methods
Christmas gifts tag
1 Punch a hole in a piece of rectangular card. Thread a ribbon through the hole.
2 Cut 3 squares in different sizes and stick them onto the card.
3 Adorn with ribbon and/or buttons to look like presents.
Christmas tree tag
1 Punch a hole in a piece of rectangular card. Thread a ribbon through the hole.
2 From green card, cut out 2 isosceles triangles of equal size (draw around the first to ensure the second is identical). Stick 1 triangle onto the tag. Fold the second triangle in half and stick only 1 half on top of the first – this gives a 3D tree effect.
3 Stick a piece of ribbon below the tree for its trunk and a star button or embellishment above.
Baubles tag
1 Make 2 tags as above or use ready-made tags.
2 Cut around 2 pence pieces to create as many round bauble as you would like – I have made 3. Stick 2 onto the tags and fold the third in half. Stick this on top of another to create a 3D effect.
3 Draw ‘strings’ onto the tags using a black pen.
4 Stick on other buttons/embellishments to create more baubles ‘hanging’ from the string.
