How-To: Make Your Own Modern Gift Tags

by on Dec 7, 2010

You found the ultimate gift, it’s deserving of some special treatment, right?  Handmade, modern, and easy, these gifts tags will be just the right touch to top things off and show how much you care.  A well-wrapped gift is a thoughtful gift, so let’s see what we’ll need to take our presentation to the next level!

These gift tags come from master paper crafter/artist Patricia Zapata of A Little Hut, who explains:

“Working on tags is fun because they are small and quick to make. They allow a lot of room for creative approaches and there really are no limits. That being said, I decided to constrain my approach by reducing the materials to a bare minimum. This will force me to create really simple ideas that: anyone can approach; will use materials that everyone has (don’t buy anything! use the scraps in your stash); are easy for kids to tackle if they’d like to join you; can stay as is or can be launching pads for other ideas that you may have; and are not necessarily just for the holidays.  It’s much easier to pile on embellishments and be done with it. It’s more work to create something out of less. That’s the type challenge I really enjoy. I hope you like what you see and join me in trying some of these yourself.”

I don’t know about you, but I definitely like what I see!  Check out the videos below to learn how to create multiple styles of mod gift tags that can be used all year.

Thanks Patricia!
