These tags measure approximately 10cm x 5cm and are made using a heavy plain red cardstock. 
I’ve hand cut the tags, using a template I took from an old Ikea tag, which, to me, is the perfect size for any parcel tag. I have then used scraps left over from the 6” x 6” Christmas paper pack I got from the Wilkinson 2013 Christmas range for the background, adding red punch circles that have been embellished with plastic snow flakes from a garland found in a charity shop a while back, with a flat back gem in the centre. The whole design is then pulled together with faux stitching and a few dots round the edges, using a white gel pen from Paperchase.

I have set a silver eyelet for the thread, always a good look when making a “professionally” finished tag!!!!! The red and white butchers twine just finishes off the whole design.
Now, planning well ahead …. I need a roll of plain silver or white gift wrap to set off and compliment these little babies!!!
