Confetti Gift Tags

Hey, hey, I hope you're feeling swell today!

I've been repurposing different kinds of paper and making them into envelopes. Some of the materials I've used include a supermarket flyer, brown paper bags, empty chocolate boxes, tea packaging and scrapbook paper remnants. I use them to house greeting cards or to package little presents.

Let me add this to the list:

I found this at the Target Dollar Spot many years ago and I kept it with my gift wrapping supplies. It was unopened, of course, because I do that a lot. I stash things away to be used as craft inspiration. 

All they really are: glassine envelopes with confetti inside. The top section is punched with a cord detail to serve as closure and accent. Aren't they cute?

It's easy to tuck in a small card that can be personalized or you can write directly on the envelope and attach this to a gift.

I happened to have some white wrapping tissue that I rescued from a gift. Instead of tossing this, let's turn it from blah to TADA! 

I trimmed the paper into a rectangle measuring 7 inches by 5 inches. I eyeballed the shape of an envelope and trimmed the edges so that the paper looks like this.

Glue the two open edges of the paper to make the envelope, leaving the top side as the flap. Fold the top flap, find the center and punch a hole.

Make some confetti using paper scraps and a hole punch. Experiment with other shapes if you have other craft punches in your collection.

Put the confetti inside the envelope.

Since this paper isn't transparent like the glassine envelope, why not extend the confetti outside by gluing some on the envelope. We can even enclose a card with a power quote...TADA!

Thread cord or ribbon (this is a good way to use up any ribbon remnants you might have) through the hole as a finishing touch.

Look what we've made -- our own version of the confetti gift tag...TADA! Attach it on a gift so that even a plainly-wrapped package can transform from blah to TADA!
