Do you want to help give your Christmas gifts that special, personal touch? Handmade tags can help you do just that.

∙Tags (I purchased these in bulk online, but I also used a punch and cut many of my own out of heavy brown and white craft paper).

∙String (jute, craft string, yarn, etc.)

∙A “to-from” stamp and ink or simply a fine-point black Sharpie to write “to” and “from.”

∙Embellishments such as buttons, ribbon, construction, craft or scrapbook paper, string, stickers, thread and needle.

∙School glue, craft glue, hot glue gun; scissors.

Create your tags by sewing or gluing buttons on your tags (I made snowmen and wreaths, as pictured), as well as Christmas-themed stickers. Some of the tags I made also serve as tiny, removable ornaments (I stacked green buttons to make a Christmas tree, with a yellow star button on top, and also made mini wreaths using the crafting tri beads).

Note these are not perfect, cookie-cutter specimens: these are true, one-of-a-kind, each-one-is-unique accessories.

Note that many of my supplies came from area thrift and gift stores.
