How cute are these gift tags! These are letterpress gift tags that I saw on Lucky Me! Blog and I just love them! Someone once told me that when giving a gift to someone you should spend about $2-$4 just for the wrapping or gift bag. Shouldn't it be enough that you are getting them a gift in the first place? Well, yes.... but going the extra mile on creative wrapping shows that person that you not only wanted to get them a gift, but that you took the time to personalize it and make it special. I have to say that I really do try to keep this in mind when giving gifts to someone. It just completes the package! DIY gift tags are the perfect thing to add to your Christmas gifts and they can be really inexpensive! All you need is card stock, ribbon and a hole punch! You can buy pre-cut shaped card stock or blank card stock gift tags at any local craft store. You can add the text by hand, stamps, rub-0ns, stickers, etc. and to top them off add some cute ribbon to tie the custom tag onto the box or bag. You can go all out by adding more embellishments or keep them simple and add a patterned ribbon for detail.
These tags are so easy to do as well! Pick out some cute patterned scrap book paper at your local craft store, get some matching yarn and just add the text by hand using a black or brown marker! Super easy... super cute... super cheap!
