12 Days of Holiday Crafts, Day 8: Stocking Gift Tag

A handmade gift tag can easily become an ornament on next year's tree! (Maggie Bullock)
Maggie Bullock

A simply wrapped package with a handmade tag can be quite beautiful. For this tag, make a stocking template from the photo, or a simple cookie cutter.

You will need :
cardstock scraps
paper and pen for making a template
scissors
glue
1/8” hole punch
1/8” eyelet (if desired)
string

  1. Trace the stocking from the photo, or use a cookie cutter to make a template.
  2. Transfer the design onto the back of patterned cardstock and cut it out.
  3. Trace and cut out the cuff on white cardstock. (I like using paper with some texture to add interest to the tag).
  4. Glue the cuff onto the stocking and let dry.
  5. Punch a hole in the corner of the cuff and add an eyelet (if desired).
  6. Add string for tying.

I often save gift tags and put them on my tree. They are a nice way to remember each year and time with family.
