Each design is printable on an 8.5″x11″ sheet, with four cards per page. For the best results, print on cardstock paper. The added thickness will give your tags a professional and durable finish.
3. Cutting Out the Tags
Pro Tip: Color Before Cutting
It’s often easier to color your tags while they’re still on the full sheet of paper. This way, you have more control and stability, and there’s less risk of bending or damaging the tags while coloring.
Once you’ve selected, printed, and colored your favorite design, the next step is to cut out your tags neatly. Our gift tags are designed with a double border, making it easy to achieve a polished look even if you’re not a cutting expert.
Here’s how to do it:
- Cut Along the Gray Line: Each tag has a double border with a gray cutting line. Carefully cut along this line to separate the tags.
- Embrace the Double Border: The double border design ensures that your tags will look great even if your cutting isn’t perfect.
4. Adding the Finishing Touches (optional)
Punch a Hole: Once the tags are cut out, use a hole punch to create a hole for attaching ribbon or twine.
Decorating the Opposite Side: Use the blank space on the back of the tag to write a personal message. A short note, a heartfelt thank you, or even a fun doodle can make your gift tag even more meaningful.
Handmade gift tags reflect the thought and care that goes into a gift. The personal touch of a handmade tag shows the recipient that you’ve gone the extra mile to make their gift special. Store-bought tags simply can’t match! So, the next time you’re preparing a gift, consider adding a DIY gift tag – it’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
