Use a few small paper scraps to make attractive tags without buying a whole matching stationery set. Gather plain card offcuts, colored paper scraps, glue, a hole punch, and string.
Set it up
Cut the card into tag shapes with enough blank space for a readable name and a short personal message. Use an existing gift tag as a size guide if the scraps are particularly small.
Put the idea to work
Glue two or three paper blocks along one side, leaving the writing area free from busy patterns and dark colors.
Finish and keep it useful
Punch the hole away from the edge, thread the string, and keep unused tags flat in an envelope. Do not place the hole so close to the edge that the string tears through it.
Which paper offcuts would make a good color combination for a gift tag?
