Polka Dot Gift Tag: Friday’s Project #18

I love polka dots and simple, thoughtful gift presentation. A fun gift tag with a simple ribbon or string spruces up almost anything. I like to whip up a dozen or two at a time so I always have them on hand.

You will need:

• a tag base (I cut my own, but a manila or other purchased tag would work just as well)
• Card stock scraps
• ½” round paper punch
• glue
• scissors
• 1/8” or 1/4” hole punch
• eyelet and setter (optional)
• string or ribbon for hanging

1. Use a purchased package tag, or cut your own from card stock as the base. Mine is approximately 2” x 4”. Cut the corners and punch a hole approximately ½” from the top.
2. Cut several ½” circles in fun colors of card stock. I like to mix it up and use bright colors for some tags and darker jewel tones for others. Various shades of the same color also make a fun combination.
3. Glue the dots to your base and trim any that extend beyond the edge of the base.
4. Add an eyelet if you so desire and the string or ribbon.

Fun. Fast. Easy. Happy Friday, all!
