Homemade Christmas Gift TagsA few nights ago I started on a fun project: making homemade Christmas gift tags. I used postal tags, pieces of tissue paper and newspaper, cut-outs from old magazines, bits of old Christmas cards, Mod-Podge — of course, and pretty metallic Prang markers.
One side is decorated. On the other side I am using the metallic markers to write a To: and From: section. Fun stuff. Lynn 5 comments to Homemade Christmas Gift Tags |
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome. I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop. For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Beautiful! You could sell those!
Lynn,
The tags you’ve made are beautiful.
What a wonderful touch they will be to your special Christmas packages. They would make awesome ornaments on a small tree with special thoughts or quotes on the flip side. I can imagine them with natural decorations like popcorn strings and pinecones. There are no limits to creativity and ingenuity!
Thanks for sharing,
Diane
Those are so pretty!
I love those!
I agree, you could market them!
Happy day Lynn…
(we have 4 inches of beautiful fluffy snow and more coming…)

Thanks everyone!
Diane, that’s a great idea! When I need a permanent reminder of something, I will often make a pretty tag to hang where I can see it all the time, but I hadn’t thought about an idea like yours.
I just love the whole creative process! You’re right. There’s no limit!
