Gift Wrap to Gift Tag

Today's project makes use of the little sheets of gift wrap left over from wrapping presents. You can also keep this in mind for all the paper on Christmas morning, when the gifts have been opened.

Instead of throwing these away...

...turn them into something useful!

All you need are a pair of scissors, cardboard & glue.

Pick a character from the gift wrap, glue it on the cardboard and allow it to dry. Then cut around the cardboard.

Tada! Instant gift tags!

These cut-out Santas were attached to folded index cards decorated with scrap paper. A white pompom on Santa's hat and a punched corner looped with silver thread are the finishing touches.

Frosty the Snowman's look was jazzed up, too -- a polka dot ribbon "scarf", a felt nose and felt buttons make him a jolly, happy soul!

Simply write a message at the back of this tag and add to a gift. No need to get store-bought gift tags!
