Homemade gift tags

Shine on
Simple tags are suitable even for young hands to create. Cut out shapes from construction paper and glue silver glitter in a band or letter shape. Let dry and shake off excess. Punch a hole in your tag and attach it to the gift.

Tag along
Taking standard luggage tags available at stationery stores, Nicola combined them with silver decorative leaves found at a cake supply shop. A seasonal message with a letter on each one makes a reusable garland when hung on a checked red ribbon and attached to the bag with circular paper clips.
