Simple Felt Gift Tag

Hello, hello!  

Tis’ almost the season for giving, and I am, as usual, doing everything at the last minute, including these simply felt gift tags.  

Thank goodness, they are simple because my to-do list is getting longer and longer!  

But, as I have said before, I like adding a little bit of homemade love to gifts that are not homemade.  

I wish I could make all of the gifts I give, but that simply isn’t realistic!  

So, a cute little gift tag will have to do!  I already shared an Ornament Shaped Felt Gift Tag that I made for my kids.  

This version of a felt gift tag is even simpler and therefore I can make many more of them!

Simple Felt Gift Tag

Supplies:

• Grey and Green Wool Felt
• 3 Red Buttons
• Green Embroidery Thread
• Red Ribbon

As I said, this is simple.  There aren’t many steps so you can stitch one up pretty quick!

1. First off, cut out your tag shape. I think simple is best, so instead of doing a fancy rounded shape, my tag is just a rectangle with a pointed end. No template needed!
2. Next, cut out and place your embellishments. I choose to embellish mine with a holly theme: two green holly leaves cut from wool felt and three red buttons. Then, to add a little bit more I ran a thin red ribbon across the top.
3. Time to stitch.  First off I stitched down the holly leaves with green thread and a simple running stitch. Next, I used red thread to sew down my buttons. Finally, I once again used green thread to add to my runner ribbon at the top. I decided to use a whip stitch for this step.
4. Finally, cut a 10″ strip of ribbon and fold it in half. Sew it to the top of the tag, along the fold. This will allow you to tie the tag to the gift. I plan on tying the tag to the bow!

And there you have it.  Simple and charming!

I hope that all your plans for a fun and holy Christmas are coming together and that you have found some hand-made inspiration here!
