HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS GIFT TAGS

To make your work faster, add a little washi tape, foil tape or glitter tape to the top and bottom of your card bases before you cut them into tags. You can also paint the top or bottom with metallic paints or use a stencil to create a pattern to the background or decorate the tags, for example by making snowflakes with a stencil.

Next step you'll only need to add a few decorations to each tag, like punched or cut out trees, hearts or stars. Sequins are really cheap and they look great when placed kind of randomly. To make real luxury tags, you can also add sequin trim together with foil or washi tapes. If you have a printer, you can print out your sentiments and Holiday greetings and use them as part of your design. Make your embellishments 3D by using either foam tape or a piece of thin cardboard between the layers.
