Creative Ways to Craft Holiday Gift Tags
Gift Tag Supplies
- Pre-made gift tags or cardstock in various colors and patterns
- Scissors or craft punches

- Markers, pens, or calligraphy tools
- Stickers, stamps, or washi tape
- Ribbon, twine, or string
- Glue or double-sided tape

Gift Tag Steps
Gather your supplies.
I like to start with pre-made gift tags because they save time and we always have them on hand.

You can make your own gift tags with a variety of shapes from rectangles and circles to stars, bells, or even festive shapes like Christmas trees though.
As always remember to use caution and care when cutting out the gift tag shapes as scissors and cutting tools will be sharp.
Next, use a hole punch to add a hole to the top of the gift tag.
Then decorate your personalized gift tags by drawing designs, adding festive stickers and stamps, or writing a personal message.
You can also layer each tag with washi tape for added color or glue on small embellishments for texture.
I found these nutcracker stickers at Hobby Lobby.
Finally, remember to add the recipient’s name and thread ribbon or twine through the hole and tie it onto your wrapped present.

Tips for Success
- Work in batches to make tags for multiple gifts at once.
- Store spare tags in a box for last-minute presents.
- Experiment with different styles to match the occasion and recipient.
Crafting your own gift tags is an enjoyable and rewarding way to add a personal touch to every present.
Whether you favor simple designs or elaborate creations, handmade tags show your care and creativity.
So, the next time you wrap a gift, take a few extra minutes to craft a tag.
It’s sure to make your present memorable!
