DIY {gift tag gift bag}
So….I went to Office Depot to pick up a printing order. Something happened to my order, so I had to wait a bit for them to re-print it. It was all a scheme on their part. Somehow they knew I would wander the store and find a box of shipping tags for $1.94. I picked up the box. Set it down. Picked it up. Set it down. $1.94 for 100 shipping tags. White shipping tags. I don’t ship things. I don’t have a store. But $1.94 for 100 white shipping tags and it wasn’t even my birthday.
I bought the tags.
I decided I better justify my purchase and make something with some of them. Thus, my diy gift tag gift bag. Does that even make sense? I made a gift for people like me that like white gift tags. And pretty tape. And diy projects that can happen in less than 5 minutes.
Supplies:
- White shipping tags
- Pretty washi tape
- Recipe card (I bought these on sale at Anthro about 3 years ago)
- 2 -Wide wood craft sticks
- Muslin gift bag
You don’t need much tape for the tags. I included 10 tags in my gift and about 12 inches of 8 different kinds of tape. Just wrap the tape around the wood craft sticks. Washi tape works so well for this. I also included a couple pre-made tags to give an idea of what to do.
A recipe for a craft just makes more sense coming from me than a recipe for a food item. And I usually craft in my kitchen, so it is still from my kitchen!
This is what I included in the bag:
This was so quick and fun to make. In my head I want to make a ton to mail friends. Reality is – I am terrible at getting anything in the mail. Terrible. Maybe I’ll just have to hand deliver them to friends!
