The time has come to start preparing for Christmas and one of my favourite parts of the festivities is wrapping presents. I spend so long looking for the right Christmas gift tags, and rarely find what I am looking for. So this year I decided to create my own Printable Christmas Gift Tags.
Why Make Printable Christmas Gift Tags?
I knew I wanted to go with a pastel theme. But also want to use all recyclable wrapping paper this year. Thus figuring that pretty tags, re usable ribbon, brown paper and little foliage is going to be the way forward.
It’s only when you start to consider the tons of wrapping paper you use, that you start to consider how much wrapping paper is not recyclable. It may only be a small step. But my aim is to wrap my gifts naturally and at the same time make them a little more unique.
I Created My Tags On My Cricut Maker Using Print And Cut.
However if you just want to print, cut out and go here is the Free Printable PDF File.
Just send this image to your printer and cut your tags out with a craft knife. Using a hole punch to make the holes.
And ribbon or wool for your string, which I just lopped then threaded through the hole.
