Christmas time is my favourite time of the year. I'm already planning my gift list and obviously need gift tags. The "Home for Christmas" paper collection from Mintay Paper is just perfect for gift tags. I also made a little box for them to fit in. Now they can be a gift for someone special too!
The gift tags are easy to make, with lots of (therapeutical) fussy cutting!
Let me show you how I did it:
The Box:
Bottom:
Cut 8 ¼” x 10 ¾ ”
Score 1” and 2” on all sides
Cut away as shown on the diagram
Top:
Cut 8 3/8 ” x 10 7/8”
Score 1” and 2” on all sides
Cut away as shown on diagram
Fold the sides over twice. Hide the little piece of the long side in the short side and adhere with red tape. Do the same for the top and bottom.
I decorated the top of the box with the organza ribbon and fussy cut elements. Some elements were raised and I finished off with fairy dust.
Tag Divider insert:
Cut 4 ¼ ” x 9 ¾”
Score 2 ¼” , 3” , 3 ¾” , 6” , 6 ¾” , 7 ½”
Adhere the two score areas to form a divider.
Tags:
Cut 18x cardstock pieces: 2” x 4” pieces
Cut 18x mixed pattern paper pieces: 1 7/8 “ x 3 7/8 “
Round the top corners and sand the edges
Adhere the small piece onto the large piece
Punch a hole in the top of the tag for the twine
Embellish with fussy-cut elements from the pattern paper.
Raise some parts with foam squares
Finally add some Fairy Dust glitter with a glue pen.
Add twine
And the you have it! A beautiful box with 18 Christmas gift tags to gif as a gift or to tag your Christmas presents this year.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this project. Or found some inspiration to create your own.
Happy Creative Play !
