Christmas Gift Tags

With Christmas less than a week away, here are a couple of easy and inexpensive gift tags to make your packages unique.

I started out by drawing a star with chalk on a piece of cardboard...

 There was enough room on the piece of cardboard that I also drew a tree shape...

I cut out the shapes and then peeled away the top layer so my star and tree would have some texture...

I dipped a hotel room key card into some acrylic paint and "scraped" it onto the shapes...

For the star, I cut out a circle using sheet music and inked the edges of the circle...

I cut out a tag shape using my Cricut and also inked its egdes...

I stamped "to" and "from" onto my tag then glued the sheet music circle, tag, and a button onto the star...

I punched a hole in the top of the star and added some twine.

For the Christmas tree, I made a loop with some baker's twine and threaded it through a star shaped button...

 I cut another tag using my Cricut and once again inked the edges. I also inked the edges and the trunk of the tree...

I added the star to the top of the tree and tied a bow on the front of the button. Then I glued on my tag and added some red, heart shaped buttons...

The tags can be easily removed and the star and tree can be used as ornaments on your Christmas tree.
