I like to live on the edge…  I’m a last minute gift wrapper.  Raise your coffee mug if you’re done shopping.  Take a sip if you’re done wrapping!

Even though I’m a last minute gift wrapper, I still enjoy every detail that goes into wrapping each gift.  My go-to formula is plain wrapping paper, like Kraft paper or something simple like stripes.  Then I dress each gift up with some ribbon.  Glittery ribbon, let’s be honest.  I always try to create a unique gift tag.  I just hate resorting to using scraps of wrapping paper folded in half.  We’ve all done it.  I’m not proud.

One year I made individual chalkboard gift tags, those were quite a hit! They did take some time to cure, so this year I decided to make something a little simpler out of glitter scrapbook paper.

Clearly world’s easiest DIY gift tag.  All you need is the gift-tag looking hole punch which you can find at your local craft store.  I bought mine at Michaels.  I also bought about 10 sheets of glittery scrapbook paper over Black Friday weekend, which were seriously a steal.  I think each sheet ranges from $.99 to $1.99, totally worth making these adorable gift tags.

I crafted two varieties, a bronze and a gold.  On the back I stamped “TO” and “LOVE”, punched a hole at the top and strung some baker’s twine for easy use when attaching to each gift.

In preparing for last weekend’s pop-up shop, I sold packages of 10 tags.  Let me tell you, everyone LOVED them.  You can get so creative with what scrapbook paper you choose as well.  I almost bought the faux snake skin paper.  Almost.
