Making a gift tag was easy with the variety of patterns and colors of decorative papers in this kit. I began with a basic shape of cardstock to cut a 4” x 6” rectangle. The decorative pieces can be some of your scraps. Cut, shape and glue them to the base rectangle. Add ribbon, lace, buttons, die cuts and brads or jewels. The Lily Bee French Coutoure patterns lend themselves to flowers and decorative elements.
Shape the tags after adding the decorative pieces. The corners were rounded with the chomper that I found at the Scrapbooks Plus store and the tops were shaped with scissors. Add a hole or an eyelet for the thread loop to hang from the bag or gift and tie a loop of ribbon or string.
Put the words “To” and “From” on the tag. Mine are on the back so that more decorative elements can be on the front. It was so easy to create the tag that I made several. It was great therapy. Get as creative as you want with gift tags.
