How about a super easy craft that even the crafty-challenged could do? A couple of years ago I bought a set of tags from Raising Up Rubies. Soon thereafter I decided to start making them and I’ve been using them ever since! I make these for everyday use, Christmas — and Valentine’s Day (of course). I thought I would share these fabric gift tags with all of you!

DIY Fabric Gift Tags
Supplies:
Manila Tags (mine are sized at 4-3/4 x 2-3/8)
Fabric Scraps
Pinking Shears
Hemp Cord
To/From Tags
Sewing Machine, optional
This is easy enough that I don’t have detailed pictures; however, I think the pictures give you a general idea of how they come together. Once you’ve gathered all of your supplies, you’re ready to get started.
Step One: Cut your fabric using your pinking shears. Of course, you can use any scissors, I just love the extra fun it adds to the fabric (and it prevents fraying overload).
Step Two: Attach your fabric to your manila tag. If you have a sewing machine, this will take you all of 5 minutes. If not, feel free to stitch by hand. It might take a few minutes longer but will look just as cute.
Step Three: Apply To/From Tags and Hemp Twine for attaching to gift.
And that’s it! Seriously, think of all the ways you could use fabric on these — get creative because the possibilities are endless. I’m hoping this got your creative juices flowing.
They pair perfectly with kraft bags or kraft wrapping paper too!
Below are a few I’ve made for Christmas.
Happy creating, friends!
Hugs all around.

Love the tags! What needle do you recommend I use on my machine? I’m sure it would be different than one used on fabric.

Thanks so much for loving on my tags… I didn’t change my needle, so I don’t think it will make a huge difference. Happy creating!!

Hi!
I pinned this way back and should have written you then. Where can I find these to and from tags? I’ve looked online and can’t find something this perfect.
Thank u!

Hi Dara! I made the To and From tags. I put a similar style in my Etsy shop (House 129) if you’re interested in taking a look at them.
