I do this every year (including last year ; ): I start wrapping gifts and realize that I don’t have any gift tags. Anyone else?
This is reason #1,384 why I love my Silhouette Cameo®. I can make my own handmade gift tags!
Thanks to Pinterest, ideas and inspiration are just a click away! In fact, I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to just tags! So of course that’s where I went to get ideas for this year’s Christmas tags.
On my Pinterest Tag board is a white mitten tag that I adore. It was the inspiration for my first set of tags. I found a mitten file in the Silhouette® Online Store that looked like it would work for my mittens tags. The file is called Christmas Mittens if you want to look for it.
I ungrouped the file and resized it to make my mittens about 3″ tall.
TIP: If I’m working on a design and using an inspiration, I always copy and paste the image of the inspiration into my workspace.
On a new page, I drew an oval and sized it to fit inside the mitten shape. I replicated that oval shape as many times as would fit on my 12 x 12 page. This would be the space to write the gift recipient’s name.
I jazzed up my some of my mittens with ribbon scraps and blingy stickers.
I made more mittens using patterned card stock. I LOVE me some polka dots and stripes!
While these big, sparkly letters aren’t “gift tags” per say, I thought you might like to see how how I identify the Christmas Stockings.
I started out by cutting the letters out of Silhouette® chipboard.
Sprayed with adhesive . . .
. . . and then added the glitter.
If you find yourself in need of some Christmas Gift Tags, I hope these tags provided a little inspiration for you!
