This method will also work on other types of paper as well, such as printed images, photographs, scrapbook paper, or even wrapping paper.
The best type of glue for this would be a glue stick. You can also use rubber cement or spray adhesive. If you are using liquid glue, apply a thin layer of white or clear-drying glue using a paint brush.
If your image is square-shaped, consider cutting it out using a pair of zigzag scissors.
Consider sticking self-adhesive labels to the back of your gift tag instead. This will make the back of the gift tag fancier.
To make a standard gift tag shape, cut a rectangle out first. Then, snip the corners off of one of the narrow ends to form a point. To make a folded tag, cut out a square shape, making sure to align one of the square’s edges with the folded part of the card.
If you made a folded tag, then write your message inside the tag instead.
To make a standard gift tag shape, cut a rectangle out first. Then, snip the corners off of one of the narrow ends to form a point. To make a folded tag from a sheet of cardstock, cut out a rectangle first, then fold the rectangle in half. Consider printing out images on cardstock and cutting them out. Be sure to feed the cardstock through your printer one sheet at a time.
Draw designs with metallic pens or glitter glue. Glue on small rhinestones or sequins. Stick on some washi tape around the edges of a square or rectangular card to give it a fancy border. Attach stickers that match the holiday, season, or event. For example, if the tag is for a birthday gift, you can use candle- or balloon-shaped stickers.
You can match the smaller shape to the larger one, or use a contrasting shape. For example, if your tag is square-shaped, you can make the smaller shape a heart.
If you made a folded card, then write your message inside the card instead.
You can also use double-sided adhesive or tape to affix your tag to the gift.
