Easy Christmas Crafts: Christmas Tree Gift Tag Materials and Tools:
Paper - I used scrap card stock, but regular paper would work just as well
Pom-poms, buttons or sequins (nine of tree color, one of base color and one of topper color)
Yarn (optional)
Glue
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
Hole punch (optional)
Pen for message (not shown)
Take a look at the simple materials and tools. The pom-poms are half-inch.
The Steps for How to Make the Easy Christmas Crafts: Christmas Tree Gift Tag:
Measure and cut a rectangular piece of paper six inches by three and a half inches (6 x 3 1/2).
Fold the paper in half to form a three-inch by three-and-a-half-inch card.
On the front of the card measure and lightly mark the vertical center.
Using the vertical line, test the position of the pom-poms deciding where to place the bottom, top and rows to form the tree.
Begin gluing the pom-poms starting with the longest row with two on either side of the vertical center.
Glue the second row of pom-poms.
Finish gluing the rest of the pom-poms with the top and bottom pom-poms added last.
The next couple of steps are optional if you want to tie the tag.
Measure and cut a piece of yarn 10-12 inches long.
Punch a hole in the upper left corner of the front of the card.
Thread the yarn through the hole, pull the ends together and tie a knot.
Add a message inside the card with the To: and From: areas.
The Christmas Tree Gift Tag using pom-poms is finished and ready to add to a gift.
Using the same steps, this example was made with buttons. The green buttons are half-inch. The red bottom and yellow topper buttons are slightly different in size simply because that's what was in my stash.
Here's a version made with 10mm round cup sequins.
This sequin version used 8 mm round cup sequins.
Just fun, use different colors of paper and pom-poms, buttons or sequins to mix and match with your wrapping paper and/or to the recipient.
Have fun making one, a few or many!
The Christmas Tree Gift Tag is fast, fun and easy - the hardest part is letting the glue dry - and adds a personal touch to wrapped gifts.
