EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm off on a break and have asked some talented friends to fill in here on the blog. Lucky us! Today, we're getting a tutorial from Emily at Jones Design Company.
You'd think since I design stationery, I'd be great at including cards with gifts. Not so much.
I much prefer gift tags. They are petite, decorative and oh, so easy to make.
Want to learn how?
Here's what you'll need:
:: scrapbook paper {I used the watercolor printable paper collection - see below}
:: tag template {see below}
:: scissors & hole punch
:: reinforcement labels {like these}
:: ribbon, stickers or stamps for embellishment
STEP ONE: place tag template over patterned paper and secure with paper clips
STEP TWO: cut out tag
Another way to create your tag is to print the template directly on the patterned paper. Then simply cut around the lines.
STEP THREE: hole punch
STEP FOUR: add reinforcement label to front and back
STEP FIVE: tie on a ribbon
STEP SIX: embellish with sticker letters, rubber stamps, etc.
A sticker number is fun for a birthday.
Or spell out a name or phrase using alphabet stamps {like these}.
The greatest thing about a gift tag is that you can personalize it to fit the recipient.
To create your own tags, feel free to download the tag template below.
