Do It Yourself Name Tags

It feels wonderful knowing that every gift under my tree has a little bit of me attached to it. It makes me smile 🙂   I just love these gift tags and find them much nicer than any I have found in a store and it is fun making them.   I guess,….maybe,…. because I missed out on all those art classes in elementary school, it somehow fills a void.  Yes, you heard correctly, I NEVER GOT TO GO TO THE ART ROOM and make that macaroni necklace or a clay bowl for my mum.  Instead, I was sitting with a Speech Pathologist sounding out my S’s for an hour everyday.  And for that, I am grateful, and I now have that Ssssssssssssssssssssss thing down pretty good!  But, back then, I didn’t care that I spoke with a lisp, I just really!…. really! really!, wanted one of those cool art masterpieces that everyone was waving around on that bus ride home.  So glad those days are gone!!!!  But, today, I am making my very own art masterpieces and would like to share them with all of you.

These are so easy and fun to make, I really do feel like a kid again.

I used scrap brown paper, chalk pens and ribbon.   Brown paper bags work well or any type of paper you have around will do.  I like the rustic look of brown paper.  Maybe you have run out of tags or want a crafty thing to do with the kids, I am sure you have the supplies to make your own tags.

Merry Christmas!
