At this stage in the game, I’d like to think my family and friends have come to expect my Crazy Dog Lady tendencies.
In fact, I would like to think they’ve even come to embrace them. Still, every now and again, I can’t resist doing things for laughs – things like using these DIY Gift Tags on all my presents this year.
These quick and easy tags are sure to make my friends and family laugh (or at least roll their eyes in mock derision). They took almost no time to create and I think they look super cute. These would be a great project for those tiny humans who want to “help wrap”, if you know what I mean.
(You also totally get bonus points if you recognize the phone numbers. I’m looking at you, PupFan.)
Here’s what we need:
- Scrapbook paper (If you’re nuts like me, you’ll choose scrapbook paper that co-ordinates with your wrapping paper)
- Glue (or a snazzy sticker maker like this one <–affiliate link. I love this think like Santa loves cookies.)
- Markers or Fineline Ink Pen
Step One: Decide what shape to make your tags and cut them out of scrap book paper. Popular choices are dog bones and fire hydrants. (Click on the links to get a printable templates.) If your crafty as heck, free hand it. I love the way every tag looks when they’re just slightly different! Cut them out
Step Two: Apply a thin layer of glue or sticker adhesive to the back and stick to an accent colour. Use scissors to trim paper, so only a thin outline remains.
Step Three: Use a marker or fine line pen to add the gift recipients name and phone number on the tag. If there’s any question as to who “the Crazy Dog Person” at your house is, feel free to write your name on the back to say who it’s from.
Do you add any “dog lover” embellishments to your gift wrapping?
I’ve got! I’ve got your number on the wall! Ahem, how’s Jenny doing?
Those tags are just adorable, but this does not surprise me at all!
Considering that it’s the 23rd and I still have gifts to buy, I will not be trying this one. Super cute, though!
What in EARTH makes you think I have my shopping done?!
Hey Jodi…I don’t know what is going on…your blog won’t update on my feed as it used to…based on my blog…it doesn’t look like you have posted for like five weeks??? Did you change something? Not sure what to do to get it to work. I guess I will try deleting and re-adding it?? Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
I hope you had a great Christmas too!
I have no idea what’s up with this feed. I’m having soooooo much trouble, particularly with people who signed up back when I was on blogger. I haven’t the slightest clue how to ix it :0( If you could PLEASE try readding it, I would appreciate it and I’ll see what I can do on my end :0)
Happy New Year!!
I am so going to do this. Thanks.
I’ll be using dog themed gift tags to round out my gifts next holiday season! Thanks for the idea.
