Hi! I know it has been a minute…but, I’m happy today to have some time to show you a really simple, very low-cost way to wrap your holiday packages! These DIY gingerbread gift tags are made from discarded cardboard and a marker! So easy!
If you don’t already have a white, oil-based marker or a white permanent chalkboard marker, purchase one from the craft store to complete this project. If you want to make coordinating wrapping paper, purchasing kraft paper is not necessary – brown bags work just as well! (Note: Trader Joe’s holiday shopping bags work great since they already have a gingerbread house design on brown paper bags!)
A pencil can be used to draw some basic shapes onto corrugated cardboard. (There is certainly plenty of this around with all the holiday deliveries rolling in!) Then, draw the shapes onto the cardboard using a white, oil-based marker and decorate them as you would gingerbread – except use a marker instead of royal icing!
When the drawings are completed, cut out the shapes and add a hole in the top for hanging. Simple!
To coordinate gift bags, just use the same white marker to add a blizzard of ‘snowflake’ dots.
Isn’t this a great project to do with children? All their original drawings can easily be transformed into gingerbread gift tags!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
LOVE this!
worth waiting for!
