CHRISTMAS TAGS

Making your own gift tags is an easy way to add a little extra bling to your presents.

HOW TO:

+ Take an A3 sheet of navy cardboard and cut out your tags in either shipping-tag style or star shapes. Apply a small spot of PVA or clear glue where you want to add gold foil. Then place the foil flakes on top of the glue and use a small paint brush to gently press them down.

+ Use a holepunch to create a hole in the tag and thread through gold thread or ribbon.

+ Use a gold pen to write your greeting on the back of the tag. A3 sheet of midnight blue card, $2.29, from Paper Plus.
