Since I have a love affair with paper and fonts, making personalized gift tags to go with each present is a fun thing for me to do while wrapping the Christmas gifts this year. It’s been time consuming, so I just put in some SATC DVDs to keep me company!
I previously downloaded each font online, I think from dafont.com, then created a Word document with each recipient’s name. (You can easily Google “free fonts” and find many online sites that offer free downloads. Some of my favorite fonts are actually images like snowflakes in font LP Snowflakes. On dafont’s website, you can also search specifically for Christmas fonts).
After printing the Word document (I used black ink since I was out of colored), I cut each name and placed it onto a gift tag I created with card stock or craft paper. I kind of fell in love with this red and white baker’s twine and had fun incorporating it into the gift wrap. The striped, brown gift wrap paper was found at Target. A hole punch and circle sticker made an opening to affix the tags.
I think you’re getting the idea. I’m the lone wrapper in my house, so there are a few more to do.
How’s it coming on your end? Hopefully, things are winding down and you are savoring the days leading up to Christmas. I’m looking forward to doing some baking in the next few days!
They all look super cute! Love em.

Those tags are awesome! Ours got the good ole peel n stick this year!! LOL Spent the day dropping off coach's gear to the printer and then running errands and cleaning the house. Hosting Bunco Holiday Party tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteThose tags looks beautiful and that red and white twine is fabulous! I would feel bad opening such a pretty package, but would certainly display the tag! I didn't see my present! :)
ReplyDeleteSATC! Sounds like a good time to me!
ReplyDeleteUm, you seem to be missing one?!? :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I'm a font geek too! And I'm crazy for that red/white string...I looked for it at Michaels and JoAnns today!!! Hope you're having a great week!
Those are so darn cute! I am lame and use Costco wrapping paper with stick on labels...I just saw some chevron bath baskets at Anthro and thought of you! I think they are having a one day sale tomorrow 12/21, 25% off :) Oh and the card holder you put up is so stinkin cute! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteDarling! I love Violet's last package. I'm totally into fonts and everything. I even love calligraphy, too! I'm a cute paper, fun pens, and stamps type of girl!
ReplyDeleteMegan - these look amazing! You are such a clever girl! I've just that red string on my gifts too

ReplyDeleteAmazing! You have quite the touch! I love everything you pull together.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese are great Megan. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteOh these are so cute. You have given me some good ideas because I want to make our tags this year from recycled paper.Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteThose tags are great, I love that you did a bunch of different ones. I am the lone wrapper too, but I kinda like it that way.

ReplyDeleteI love how you used so many different fonts to fit each person!

They look so cute, Megan! You have made major progress. Still need to do my wrapping. Made my gift tags, but have run out of cardstock to print them on . . oops! Have a great, great day!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteyour gifts are so pretty! i love the added touch with twine and special fonts!!! we're gift wrapping tonight but they won't be as pretty as yours!
ReplyDeletei need your energy, you just never stop do you?
ReplyDeletethese look awesome. i love wrapping in brown paper also!
These are so cute! I love my tags last year, this year they are no good... Kind of a bummer.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Danielle--how do you find time to do it all? They are perfect and I'm sure everyone will feel so special when they open their gifts!
ReplyDeletexo,

So pretty! I like the Outlaw font a lot. This goes well with I posted on today--my gift wrap. ;) I got lazy and did sticker tags...I put them under the presents so they don't mess up the look. How Type A is that?!
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even thought about tags... it's December 21st. This could be problematic. Though I have the 23rd off and I'm hoping to bake cookies and get all into holiday mode!
Those are so great! I'm off to start wrapping right now!
ReplyDeleteI love the way your presents look, definitely my style of wrapping. Good work. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!! Great idea!
