5 DIY Gift Tag Ideas

We can think of no better way to dress up a gift than with a personalized handmade tag, so we came up with a quick list of ideas to help up your tag-making game this season!
1. Cricut^® Shapes


Select a few of your favorite shapes and let your Cricut^® machine do the rest! If you need to make a large number of gift tags, using a Cricut^® shape is an easy way to get it done.
2. Pocket Cards

If you have extra pocket cards, try trimming them into a gift tag. Your pocket cards can become the base paper or even the sentiment!
3. Cut Above^® Tag Kit


This kit was designed for tag making! Pair these tags with different ribbons, embellishments, and sentiments to change their original look, and voila! You have beautifully unique tags for the beautifully unique people receiving them.
4. Complements

Make use of any extra complements you have by sticking them on gift tags!
5. Stamping on Scraps


We all have scraps of paper lying around from bigger projects we’ve worked on in preparation for the holidays. Instead of throwing it away (or hoarding it! J) turn your scraps into little gift tags with some fun stamps and ribbons!
Who knew that so much cuteness could fit into such small pieces of paper! Make your gift giving that much more special this season with some personalized handmade tags!

Quick Easter Basket Tags

With April a skip and a hop away, it’s time to start thinking about Easter crafting! One fun project is to make cute name tags for your family’s baskets—and with our Cricut® collections, you can get adorable tags in a jiffy!

The daffodils, banners, and letters on these tags come from the latest of our Cricut® collections—Flower Market. The tag bases themselves comes from our Cricut® Artistry collection, which is filled with lots of other basic shapes for crafting. Combine the two collections, and you get a whole new world of possibilities!
You can see how we layered these pieces on top of each other to create a tag with dimension. To finish the tag, simply punch a hole in the top, add some ribbon, and tie it to an Easter basket.
This quick project adds a personal touch to your Easter baskets, and you can use the tags time and time again!
