so recently I've started making my own little gift tags/luggage tags and note cards, and I thought I'd share how I do it.
All you need is:
1. gift tag template (below)
2. something to decorate it with (I use a little atlas)
3. a hole punch (I use a little heart shaped one, but whatever you have will do)
4. some double sided sticky tape (or really strong glue, but the tape works best)
5. some card
6. some ribbon
this is the little atlas I use.
The pages of the atlas are really easy to rip out so it means I have no jagged edges for when I'm sticking it down.
First thing to do is cover the back of the card with double sided sticky tape (or strong glue, whatever you have)
it should be covered, like this:
take a sheet of whatever you're decorating it with and place it on top of the sticky tape, so it looks like this
make sure you cut away the sides, so its just the design left.
cut out a luggage tag from another bit of card
if you're making luggage tags/gift tags, place them on the card and draw around it, on mine I can only get two in, if you're making a note card, cover the other side of the card with the same design, look at where you want your luggage tag to go.
if you're making luggage/gift tags, cut them out now.
hole punch the top of them (with my little heart shaped ones, I often add the cut-out heart to the bottom.
if you've made a note-card, just attach your luggage tag onto your card, tie a bit of ribbon on the top.
(I love east of india ribbon, it's expensive, but worth it.)
you should now have little luggage tags and note cards like this.
you can also use tags to attach to boxes you have just saying whats in them, or use them as decoration.
