For the past couple of years, I have been crafting custom gift tags. They have been an easy DIY using blank gift tags and Washi tape. This year I went a little crazy on the gift tags, creating multiple versions and different color schemes.
[spacer height=”16px”]It all started with the idea that I want to up the luxe factor of the tags by adding metal eyelets. A couple of trips to the craft store and Amazon purchases later, I had created families of gift tags. They are easy to create. And it’s a way to get gift tags in the color scheme of your wrapping paper and ribbon.
