Tag!
I wanted to personalize some homemade baked gift packages this year. I decided to do it by creating some name tags. Just for fun, I also wanted to do it without purchasing anything.
Out came some old Christmas cards from last year, scrapbooking paper, ribbon, a hole punch and a cutter. I began by sorting through the cards and finding some I really wanted to use. I trimmed them and then selected some coordinating paper.
I will confess now. I actually had to go to the dollar store and buy a glue stick.
What a great idea and yours are just adorable. I'll be baking quite a few goodies for friends this year - thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteLike minds. I do the same thing but I use the tags for Christmas gifts. I always thought it was a shame to throw away the pretty cards so it's nice to enjoy them for another year.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea and good job recycling.
