Making Christmas Tags...

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? I've got a couple of things hidden away, but not much as of yet. However, I am accumulating a nice stash of tags to use for the holidays.

When I release a new printable file, I always do a test print to make sure the color is accurate, that the images print clearly, check for alignment of the images etc. I release several new things per week so that leaves me with a lot of prints. So what does one do with all those test prints, you ask? I make tags!! LOL

The tags show here are made with the 1.75" Round Images - Holy Night. They are very easy to make. (click image for a larger view)



Simply punch the Holy Night images with a 1.75" circle punch, punch a 2" scalloped circle from coordinating card stock, ink the edges of both (optional). Then adhere the Holy Night image to the scalloped circle. I use an Elmer's school glue stick and it seems to work great. After that, you can punch a small hole in the top and add a string or ribbon. I used 6 strands of dmc floss on the ones shown here.

I plan to write my To: and From: info on the back of the tag with a gold gel pen.

Just imagine how pretty those holiday packages will look with a hand made tag.

If you're interested in seeing more holiday tags, stay tuned. I have a whole pile laying here on my desk to show you.

Thanks for visiting!
