The Twelve Days of Holiday Organizing: Gift Tag DIY

DIY Project – Turn Your Old Greeting Cards into Gift Tags

This idea has been around for many years (we think Martha Stewart brought it into the main stream). Repurpose those holiday cards that you can’t part with because they are so beautiful by turning them into handy gift tags.

For those of you who dabble in paper crafting, you may want to pull out a basic 2” circle punch (click here for our favorite). Center the punch over the design and cut out a circle. Viola! You have an instant tag! Use a standard hole punch to create a hole at the top for a ribbon to tie on to a gift.

If you don’t have access to a paper punch, simply use a small juice glass to trace a circle on the back of the card design and cut out with scissors. Then do the same as above by using a standard hole punch to put a ribbon through the top of the tag.

Here’s a picture of my tag project. Super easy…and fun, too!
