Learn how to make easy pull-tab DIY Christmas gift tags with my easy pattern!
When I made my tear-away gift tags a few years ago, I had no idea how popular they’d become! I’m always delighted to see people make them year after year for Christmas gifts. So I thought it would be fun to have more designs, and I’m happy to share more pull-tab shapes so you can make your own DIY Christmas gift tags this year!
Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for this easy project on my channel!
The most important thing you need to make my DIY Christmas gift tags is a good cardstock or poster board. I like to use foil or sparkle poster board with a white back for the best results, but you can use anything that works for you!
You’ll also want glue or double-sided tape to close up your DIY Christmas gift tag!
Of course we’ll need our Cricut Cutting machine, I’m using the Cricut Maker , but you can use any machine, including the Cricut Joy for this project. We’ll also need a machine mat, scraper and weeding tool.
You do NOT need a scoring tool for this project! I’ve included dashed cuts to assist in folding for you!
