I always forget to buy gift tags. I have even been known to write the name on the wrapped package with a sharpie, tacky, I know. So how happy was I to learn this new trick on how to turn Christmas cards into gift tags! If you are like me you save old Christmas cards. If you don’t do that it’s probably because you are super organized and never forget to buy gift tags anyway. I strive to be you but it’s never going to happen. So lets get started!

Start with a card that has a picture and/or saying you like.

You can use regular scissors or craft scissors with a fancier cut. I honestly used my kids craft scissors. Cut out the picture and use a hole punch and add string. Thats it! Just make sure the piece you cut out does not have writing on the back!

This year I also used wooden ornaments as gift tags for my kids. Here are some more pics of a few I made.

Happy cutting!!
