3. Layered Tags Elegance

Layering different materials on a gift tag can make your gifts look elegant. You would require at least 2 types of paper material and an interest for simple crafting work. But the effort is worth it. Use materials with different textures, motifs and colours to create more dimension. Present varying impressions with different layering techniques.

For example, using translucent vellum or rice paper on a bold background can create a sophisticated and romantic look. Or use a small strip on a larger gift tag to create the effect of dangling charms. Breathe life to a plain gift tag by pairing it with a bright colourful card placed beneath it. Opt for foil printing for added glitz and glamour.

3. Translucent vellum paper to create a light, airy, romantic style.

4. Floral Flourish

If you don’t have a fancy looking gift tag to adorn your gift, not to worry. Pick out a blade of grass or a twig with leaves from the park and stick it onto the gift tag with glue or tape.

It would be better still if you can use a small flower. We prefer to use dried botanicals as tag ornaments so they don’t look wilted and discoloured after some time. Fake ones will work just as wonderfully to give a look of everlasting freshness.

5. Lively Lollipop

This is another clever way to dress up small gifts and make them look grand. Your budget for party or wedding favours does not have to break the bank.

1. Place round lollipops on sticks upside down in a small bag.
2. Create a flat base in the bag by placing a thick cardstock at the bottom of the bag.
3. Punch holes at the top and the bottom of the gift tag.
4. Slide the lollipop stick through these holes.
5. Secure the bag below the tag with a string or cable tie.

The result is super attractive for a small feat of crafting.

The flat base ensures that the lollipop stays upright and does not roll around. If you want to go the extra mile, get professionally-made round chocolate truffles. Just tell your baker or chocolatier to add a lollipop stick or long straw into each truffle.

6. Mini Clothespin Charm

1. Wooden mini clothespins or laundry peg in different types and colours.
2. Artificial mini succulents in ceramic pots that are great for gifts and centrepieces.
3. Natural burlap or jute fabric rolls that are multipurpose and sold in yards.

7. Ornament Delight

Incorporating small ornaments or charms onto your gift tag adds festive flair, especially around the holidays.

Cover the string hole of the gift tag with an embellishment such as a wooden cutout, rhinestone, glass bead or ornamental clip.

Use tape or glue to attach the gift tag onto the front or top of the gift. Place it at a slight angle to get that stylish tilt.

8. Suspend Sophistication

Just because gift tag holes are really tiny, it doesn’t mean we need to use thin strings to hang them. Here, we love how broad ribbons are used to suspend the gift tags. There is no tying involved.

The gift tags are pretty much locked in and will not slide down because the broad ribbons behave like stoppers. They certainly uplift the sophistication level of plain gift bags.

Guests will feel like they have won the grand prize. Definitely the winner here and worth a try if you are thinking of giving away your favours in gift bags.

9. Sealing Wax Wonder

Use sealing wax to attach gift tags on gifts. Your gifts will bear a regal aura and style from the Middle Ages. Mastering the perfect wax seal takes some practice and steady hands. You will need tools to melt the wax and a sealing stamp to create the seal. It’s a process that involves high heat. So be sure to take the precautions to prevent burns.

There are numerous youtube tutorials on wax sealing that can help you get started. Be patient and keep practicing if you are a beginner. It’s crucial to familiarise yourself with how wax behaves when heated or cooled so that you know how to control the process.

If that sounds too difficult, not to worry. Simply use peel-and-stick adhesive wax seals to get exactly the same effect without the sweat.
