Homemade Christmas gift tags

There’s nothing sweeter than homemade gift tags to make the bounty beneath your Christmas tree look warm and folksy.

You will need

• 2 x plain gift tags (available at your local $2 shop)
• 3 x white pom poms
• 3 x buttons of differing sizes
• 1 small piece coloured string (to make the scarf)
• 2 twigs (for the arms)
• black marker pen
• scissors
• strong craft glue
• 25cm jute string

Instructions

For the pompom snowman

• Use scissors to trim two of the pom poms down so that you have a base, middle and head pom pom of big, medium and small dimensions. Glue the pompoms to the gift tag in descending order to form the snowman shape.

• Use a marker pen to draw on the snowman’s hat. Glue two small twigs to the card as the snowman’s arms.
• Attach jute string and your gift tag is ready.

 For the button snowman

• Glue the buttons to the tag in descending order.

• Use a marker pen to draw on the snowman’s hat and glue a small piece of string in between the middle and head of the snowman. It’s a bit fiddly but if you use a toothpick to wedge it in between the two buttons, you may not even need glue.
• Attach jute string to the tag and you are ready to use!
