Personalized Gift Tags

I love giving gifts.  It is just so fun to think of something that someone will really enjoy, and buy it for them.  And, one thing I love to do before giving a gift, is making it even more personalized with the wrapping.  There is just something about the little details that can make someone feel that much more special.

We celebrated many birthdays in July.  One being the first birthday of Lincoln's friend, Micah; and another being our sister-in-law Lisa's 27th birthday.  I decided to wrap the gifts each in the same paper... and make similar gift tags to top them off.

These just kind of came together as I went.  And, it only took maybe 5 minutes total.  Even better.

I just free-hand drew some letters on the extra wrapping paper after cutting it to the size of the gift.  Put it through my trusty sticker maker (which I love... and works like a champ at its ripe 'ole age of 9 years... at least!), stuck the letters to cardstock, cut it out with fun scissors, outlined in permanent marker and added an eyelet to make it feel a bit more finished.

And, of course you have to add ribbon... real ribbon... in colors to suit the special person!

I think that these will become bookmarks.  Even better.  The cuteness lives on.
