An Easy DIY
This year instead of buying dull, boring Christmas tags...why not make your own? I saw the picture below online while searching the web, and immediately knew that these tags were the ones I wanted to make. I usually buy the boring sticker ones that you can get for about $3, but this year I wanted to spice it up and try making my own. If you too want to make these same tags like below, then keep on reading!
First off, I'm going to start by buying some construction paper. I will then start cutting out multiple tan squares for all of the tags. Next, I will cut out cream colored squares that are slightly smaller than the last tan ones we cut out. Then, just simply glue the smaller squares on the bigger ones. Now we have a base for our tags. Next, cut out some green triangles for the Christmas trees. Also, we will need to cut out small brown rectangles for the tree trunks.When you have your shapes cut out glue them onto the cream squares. If you want to add some pizazz to your trees then you can draw on some ornaments. When you are done just cut out a star for the top, or simply draw one. Next, time to add some text. I personally have a stamp that says "Merry Christmas!" so I will just be stamping all of my tags. But, if you don't have a stamp and don't want to buy one, then you can just write it out. Next, you are going to need to hole punch each one of your tags. I will be doing mine in the top left hand corner. Then, just cut a small piece of string so you can and feed it through the hole punch and you will then be able to tie it on your gift. In the picture above they added ribbon, so you could totally add that to your tags, but I will be adding tiny colorful bows to mine instead.
Your tasteful tags are now complete! All you have to do now is flip the tag over and write who its to and from. These tags are easy to make, and they look even better than the store bought Christmas tags you usually see on gifts.
If you are a big fan of Peeps like my family is you will be excited to know that they have their holiday peeps out and ready to sell. They have nine different types you can choose from which include chocolate dipped candy cane, chocolate dipped sugar cookie, gingerbread, Christmas rainbow, peppermint, chocolate covered mint, marshmallow, and even my personal favorite chocolate mousse flavored. No matter what flavor you choose, I'm sure they will be delightful. If you want to look at them in more detail I will have the website linked below. You can even buy them at the site. This would be an easy stocking stuffer gift to get too!
