Greetings! With the first Sunday of Advent coming up this weekend, it's time to start wrapping presents for the Christmas holidays. Therefore, I took advantage of this week's theme to design a small series of Christmas gift tags.

It was fun making tags to wrap my presents! I used basic manila tags for my base, which were only 2 3/4 x 1 3/8 inches (7 x 3.5 cm). I trimmed each tag with a band of Christmas print by K&Company. Then, I made 3 different origami hats, which I trimmed with miniature green rick-rack and pompoms. I glued the hats to the tags and outlined the tags with squiggles using a red Sharpie micron pen. I used basic Kraft boxes to enclose my presents and tied big gold metallic bows on them. I felt the latter helped make my tags the focal point.
I truly get a warm feeling out of wrapping Christmas presents for family and friends. However, it's easy to forget about the true meaning of the season, which is to rejoice in the coming of the Messiah. Blessings!
"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." Hebrews 13:16
These tags and story certainly leave a warm glowing feeling Arnaldo! Many blessings to you too! x
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely little tags, and they look so good on your beautifully wrapped gifts. Your family and friends will love them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags and presents! Valerie
ReplyDeleteClever tags and gorgeous gifts. Lucky recipients!
ReplyDeleteThose lovely little tags are very layered and you put time into making them. I wondered how much fun it was to adhere that little round green pieces? Then I saw the ric rac and other bits.
ReplyDeleteValerie they truly are a piece of art and I hope the recipient uses them as book marks or something. Thank you so much for posting with us at WAW.

The packaging really does set your little tags off a treat. A lovely slant on the keeping warm theme. Hugs Mrs A.
