snowmen gift tags

I've been on a snowman kick lately. I started with these fingerprint gift tags and have now moved onto other little popsicle stick snowmen gift tags. They were fun and EASY to make...which seems to be my theme this year for Christmas.

I started by painting some popsicle sticks white. When they were dry, I painted on eyes, a mouth and some little buttons. I then added a felt hat and a little felt carrot nose.

To make the scarf, I used a small amount of colored paper and cut out small scarf-like shapes. Using an exacto knife, I cut a slit in the scarf so I could slide it right onto the popsicle stick.  

I added names and attached them to all of my packages. I LOVE gift tags! [p.s. this post may be linked to any number of these blogs]

fingerprint gift tags

I love kraft paper. I have always wrapped gifts in it because you can decorate it however you choose (so many options)! When I saw these Kraft paper gift tags I knew I wanted to make some cute little tags for the holidays for any colorful gift bags I may end up using.

With being busy, I wanted to come up with a cute tag that I could whip up pretty quickly. I have seen some cute snowman fingerprint ornaments around on the web and thought they would make darling gift tags as well.

Here we are: part 2 of gift tags (if you missed part 1, check it out here). I was pleasantly surprised with how part 1 gift tags turned out, so I decided to take them to the next level. Fabric tags! I bought a few yards of linen for a future project and stole a few small scraps to make these:
