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 |
Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.   <div align="center"><a href="http://www.amothersjournal.com" title="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong"><img src="http://www.innatelygray.com/images/abitofbirdsong_120_200.jpg" alt="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong" style="border:none;" /></a></div>    
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!
Lynn
