Fruit and Berry Gift Tags (free printable)

Day 27: Fruit and Berry Gift Tags (free printable)

I think we’ve already established that I love paper and making printables, but I just need to say it again: I love paper and making printables. Over the summer I made some Paper Berry Pie Decorations, and I loved them so much I made these fruity pictures into gift tags! These fruit gift tags would be the perfect little decoration for a cooking theme gift. Do you have a baker in the family? Perfect.

Supplies needed to make these gift tags:

Directions:

Step One:

Print out the fruit and berry gift tag printable. To download the printable: click on this link, right click and save the image to your desktop.

Fruit and Berry Gift Tags (free printable)

Step Two:

Cut the fruit out along the edge. Use the hole punch to make a hole in the corner of the tag, and thread the baker’s twine (or ribbon) through the hole.

Step Three:

Write a little note on the back of the gift tag, and tie this cute tag onto your gift!

Day 26: Treat Yourself Sewn Paper Treat Bags

You guys. Thanksgiving is less than 20 days away. I love this holiday because you get a four-day vacation with the family and ALL of the food. Yum. Stuffing and gravy are pretty much my favorite part of the food portion, but dessert and pie also right up there (mmmm, apple pie). Since family will be gathering, I think it’s kind of nice to provide some sort of extra treat at each place setting. I made these really cute Treat Yourself Sewn Paper Treat Bags for the HP Create blog. I made a BUNCH of different printable treat bag shapes so you can make your own: triangles, diamonds, ovals, and hearts… all with different sayings, or blank (so you can add your own note).

Supplies you will need to create this project:

  • Printer
  • 5 x 11 vellum paper
  • Sewing machine
  • Colorful thread
  • Printable treat pack shapes (all printables are on the original post)
  • Candy

You can place the treat bags on each place setting. What if you added the name of the people coming over for Thanksgiving dinner to each treat bag? These could double as gifts and place markers! If you want to see the full tutorial and get the free printable images to make your own, head on over to the original post on the HP Create blog.
