RETRO CHRISTMAS GIFT TAGS - FREE PRINTABLE

I love bbbbblue! So, this Christmas I am determined to not just have blue on the Christmas tree or around the room, but to also use it on my presents. Unfortunately, at this moment our local store doesn’t have any of their wrapping papers out yet, BUT I could take the first step by making some fun, retro Christmas tags!!

And of course I am sharing them here with you for free! Don’t forget I also sell printed versions of everything on the Blog on the website if you rather have a physical products. Find these tags in the Holiday Shop here.

Just scroll down to the bottom of this post for the link to this FREE GIFT TAG PRINTABLE link.

Feel free to print up as many copies as you would like of this retro colored sheet. You can gift them to your favorite girlfriend and your awesome sister, too. Before you get wrapping away, make sure that you have the supplies you need! Below are some of my paid suggestions.

An inkjet printer (my favorite brand is Canon)
Heavy weight cardstock (splurge on something over 90lb for thicker tags that won’t fold or tear)
Scissors or a rotary cutter
Pretty twine in your favorite matching color
1/8 inch hole puncher
Your favorite pens

I always suggest starting the process with a great printer. The better the printer the better the final product. I love the Canon printers. We have always used them in our stationery business. MAJOR TIP: Be sure to print on the photo paper setting to see the images turn out true to the original. Load your heavy cardstock in the printer. Print 2-4 sheets for a nice collection of gift tags. Have a large family? Print some more. Remember, you can print as many copies as you would like.

Along with a suggested printer below, there is also some super cute double sided wrapping paper that would match great with the tags and of course you are going to need tape!

Once the images are printed, you should cut right inside the black box around all the tags. You should be cutting OFF the black line, so you will not see it at all on the finished tag.

Your next step is to use your 1/8 punch to make holes in each of the tags. Then you will want to cut twine 7.5 inches long. I folded the twine using a Lark’s Head Knot. I think this is the cleanest way to tie a tag. I fold my twine in half to make it really tidy.

Continue this on all your tags! I then tie the tag to the ribbon on the gift. Once I get some of mine attached I will update this post. Like I said no wrapping paper to be had this week at a certain store I always buy from. LoL.

Let me know how many you print up and who you shared them with below.
