Make gift tags:

Before you decide to toss all those Christmas cards sent to you, save them and use them as gift tags for next year. It doesn’t require a crafty-hand, just a pair of scissors and a hole punch.




Cut around specific shapes, or take a decorative backdrop and cut shapes in it. Punch a hole in the top for tying them on and cover any writing on the back by gluing a piece of paper over it. You can even embellish them with glitter, sequins or ribbon.

It doesn’t take any time at all, and you’ve turned those beautiful cards into beautiful gift tags for next holiday season.

Trace a Circle on the most interesting part of the card (on the back of the image of course) then trace a square INSIDE the circle.

Create many of these

Glue each of the four sides of the circle (the ones that were bent) to another circle. continue ( i think you need 6)

Punch a hole in the top and add ribbon or string
