I want to include 3-5 gift tags with my Christmas cards this year. I would like to have them detach from the cards in someway, but I haven't got that far yet. This is my first try. The back of the tag says "To___ From____"
I don't have a corner rounder, so I rounded them by hand. I did not have any pretty string or yarn, so I used two strands of thread and made it long enough to be tied to a bag, or secured under a ribbon.
Any constructive criticism or crafty ideas would be great.
Thanks.

I love it just the way that it is. The only addition I can offer (but its not needed in my opinion) is to edge it with the red or black stamp ink. The only reason I'm putting it out there is because thats one of my favorite things to do.

Are you making your christmas cards also? You could make a pocket to hold them. I love this idea and I might borrow it for my closer friends and family
I think it is cute! I would love getting a few tags in my Christmas cards because I never have enough. Very thoughtful and charming
2 ideas for it (and it is perfectly gift worthy as it stands!) would be to drag the thread through your red or green ink pad to color the thread. Also, if you've got some white or clear glitter and a glue pen (or a bottle of stickles) a smidge on the band and ball of his hat would be cute. I'm a confessed glitter addict though LOL!
Like Michelle above, I'm thinking of snagging your gift tag idea for my holiday cards! Very sweet thinking!

Ooo... I like the glitter idea!! I am on a strict budget right now and don't have anything. Maybe i could try using an eyeshadow I don't wear and some glue? I will have to think on this.

Really?!?! I can use these for the Challenge?!?!
Shoot, I am done with April then! Maybe even the whole year! LOL. Just kidding. I made 120 or so in total using 5-6 designs. I'll have to get the rest posted.
