If you still need to wrap up those gifts, I’m going to give you a tutorial for woodgrain gift tags:
For my gifts, I used:
1. yarn
2. brown masking paper
3. 1-inch circle cutter
4. corner rounder
5. alphabet stamps/brown ink pad
6. silver & gold glittered letter stickers (Target @ $2)
7. hole punch
8. 2-inch circle cutter
9. 9 foot cheap garland ($1 @ Dollar Tree)
Gather your supplies.
I used the above supplies plus woodgrain contact paper ($1 @ Dollar Tree) and white poster board.
First, I took a section of the contact paper and covered about 1/4th of the poster board with it. Then I cut various size rectangles and 2-inch circle tags from the (now) woodgrained poster board.
On some of the gifts, I used the 2-inch circle cutter to cut directly from the contact paper. This allowed me to use the circles as stickers for a handful of the packages.
Using my tiny alphabet stamps, I stamped words directly on some of the gifts or on round 2-circles cut from the masking paper.
On the remaining tags, I used the glittered letters to add a pretty monogram.
After all of my gifts were wrapped, I used yarn and varying lengths of garland to attach my tags to the gifts. Each package and each tag is different. Anything goes, so have fun with it!
I added a large letter j out of garland and a woodgrain sticker (cut from the contact paper with my 1-inch circle cutter) for my hubby’s gift.
