Done In a Minute: Letter & Number Gift Tags

I wrapped a bunch of gifts yesterday. I wanted the process to be easy, but wanted to add something different in the way of gift tags.

Letter-and-number-gift-tags-that-you-can-easily-make-in-minutes

I decided to use chipboard letters that you can buy in the scrapbooking aisle at Michaels crafts store.

They come in a stack that includes black & white upper and lower case letters and numbers that you punch out from a sheet.

To make them into gift tags, I simply punched a hole in them.

I wrote – To and From on the back of the tags using a marker.

Then tied them onto the packages with ribbons that I have been collecting all year.

Creative-gift-tag-ideas-that-are-easy-to-make

I left most of the tags plain, but you can draw on them with colored markers…

add glitter to them….

and even add embellishments  – my favorite – jingle bells, small ornaments, Pom-Poms, and cuttings from a piece of fake greenery. Here are some more gift wrapping ideas to keep you wrapping all year long –> Gift Wrap Archives.

I used the first initial of the recipient’s name for the tags.  When I have more than one gift to give one person, I used the numbers 1..2…3… Kind of ups the excitement of getting and opening a gift a little  :)

The chipboard letters and numbers also go with a variety of gift wrap styles and colors which makes them super versatile. If you have any left over, hang a few on your Christmas tree as ornaments.

I bought the brown and polka dot gift wrap at HomeGoods, the rest is from Walmart.

The solid color ribbons are from The Dollar Tree, the stripes and patterns I found in the clearance bins at Michaels.

I am off to bake a few batches of cookies now, and then tackle my inbox that I have not been able to keep up with the past few weeks.   If you have asked me a question and are awaiting an answer, I am way behind and will try to get to all of them in the next few days.

    I have so much fun wrapping and am always looking for new ideas. These gift tags are amazing and I am going to Michaels tomorrow to find them. All my recipients will be so excited when they see them. It will be my new best thing for the Christmas season. I only wish I had more gifts to wrap. Keep up the good work. You are so creative and thanks for sharing

    Oh how very clever!

    I am thinking that glittery S has my name all over it….. grin. I love them all, but the jingle bells and glitter are my kind of gorgeous!

    Thank you again for all your wonderful ideas and how to’s for so many of my wants. My list grows longer… sad that I am so slow to do anything.

    Merry Christmas and God Bless You All.

    You’ve got style Diane. Love this idea! Also wanted to send sympathy and condolences on the loss of your father. I know this is a tough time for you and your family. But you have a way of sending cheer know matter what may be going on in your life. Thank you for that gift.
