finished gift tag on lime green background This cute gift tag is quick to make and looks really professional. Make it for your own gifts or to sell at fairs. You can even use all recycled stuff. For instance, cut a square of card from a used greetings card, take the cloth from an old skirt or shirt, use buttons from an old cardigan and ribbon from a gift set.

Supplies:

1 small square or rectangle of sturdy card
1 small scrap of woven cloth
one button
2 lengths of narrow ribbon about 8-9inches
scissors
PVA glue
hole punch

Steps:

Round the corners of your card using your scissors and punch a hole in one corner.

Cut a piece of cloth slightly smaller than your card.

Fray the edges of the cloth a little.

Stick the fabric to the card using a small spot of glue in the centre.

You will need about 8 or 9 inches of ribbon, but this will vary according to the width of your ribbon and the size of your card. Use your judgment to get the best look.
