DIY Recycled Gift Tags

Add some flair to your gifts with this cute recycled gift tag

Here are the supplies you will need

Old paper grocery bag

Old book paper - I used an old dictionary I found at a thrift store for $0.09.

or

Paint Sample - if you feel uncomfortable tearing apart books for this project then you can use something else for your accent. I also made this using a paint chip sample. You can pick these up at your local hardware store for free!

Glue

Hole punch

String

Start by finding an unfolded, unmarked area of your paper bag. Start by cutting out a square of paper thats about 2" by 4". Then cut the corners of one side of the square to make your tag shape.

Now use the dictionary paper or the paint sample to add your detail design. I used one of the tags for a wedding gift so I cut out hearts from the dictionary paper and glued them onto the tag. For the paint chip tag I created stripes to add a bit of color and flair.

You can also use some of the detail paper to add a circle to the top of the tag where you will punch out the hole. Then you will have a little extra flair there too.

When you are happy with your design its time to add the finishing touches. That includes using a hole punch to punch a hole at the top of the tag. Then add a string that will help you attach the tag to the present.

These tags will give your next present a nice personal flair.
