How to Make Holiday Gift Tags + Leisure Arts Giveaway

June 29, 2017 by FaveCrafts

It’s time to wrap your presents. Get ideas and gather your supplies because it’s time to ramp it up and make those presents a little more special!

Here’s how you can make a nice presentation to the gifts you have specially purchased for the people around you. Don’t skimp on the thoughtfulness of the gift by throwing an unwrapped box in a plain gift bag. You can jazz up your gift tags and wrapping paper a bit by using your coloring instruments, adding a little more flair with needle and thread or adding other store-bought embellishments. Experiment and have fun!

The best new paper glitter bags I’ve used in years – the glitter does NOT come off on your hands, or table, or carpet… Look at these Large Glitter Bags in four fabulous colors!

I will have both wrapped boxed presents as well as bagged presents. Now I’ll focus on making decorated gift tags to use on presents. I used both the Burlap Tags (item #47564) and the Kraft Paper Tags (item #47563) and was very pleased in the versatility that both of these basic designs offered!

I had so much fun making these tags. I let my creativity grow from simply coloring an ornament design from the Art of Coloring Festive (item #6945), to making tags that were embellished and dimensional that could be hung as ornaments, too!

Layer your tags, whether burlap or paper, to have both to/from names and a design.

Pairing my completed tags with the Large Glitter Bags.

Here’s the most elaborate gift tag that I made. I used two Kraft Paper Tags to complete this ornament. I cut-out an oval shape in my first tag that would act as a window; my second tag was kept whole. The first tag would get a piece of hard plastic (cut from another package’s blister pack) to cover its window. The second, whole tag would serve as the background; I glued craft super-mini glass marbles to it. I added my colored ornament on top of the marbles. I aligned the first tag with its window to the second and glued them both together.

The snowflake cross stitch gift tag was completed using a Burlap Tag; it was backed with another burlap tag.

Now it’s time to wrap some boxed presents. HMM…how could I make the box itself a little more interesting. I went to Pinterest to get some ideas on how to decorate gifts using yarn — other than using pom-poms. This image caught my eye immediately with its yarn woven decorated present.  Did you know Leisure Arts carries Lion Brand® Yarn?

To decorate packages with yarn, I followed the directions as outlined in the above-mentioned pin and gathered two yarns from my stash.

Here I am beginning to weave the second yarn – in a different weight and color as suggested.

I liked the variation that I made to the initial set of instructions. I just embellished the embellishment!

So I had half of my package of Kraft Paper Tags (30 tags / pack) unused. I wanted to find something additional to do with my remaining tags; I happened to fan mine out when it dawned on me.  With simple additions of several pipe cleaners, I had a wreath. What a great idea to do for younger kids to decorate. What would you do with your extras? Make a deck of cards with two packages of paper tags? What about any extra Burlap Tags (12 tags / pack)?

I’d love to see your ideas come to life! Post some images of your packages and projects. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season — keep it creative with less stress and more merry!
