Clothespin Gift Tags

Today’s craft is super duper simple and inexpensive!

Clothespin Gift Tags // Delia Creates

Who doesn’t like to save time and money this time of year? It’s also earth friendly, which is always a good thing.

Clothespin Gift Tags // Delia CreatesThese clothespin gift tags are a cinch to make, and add an element of cute to holiday packaging.

Clothespin Gift Tags // Delia CreatesSimply, stamp on a “To” and “From” on a wooden clothespin (or write it with a permanent marker!), and clip a paper tag into it, if you just want to add some flair to your gift wrap.

Then reuse, year after year!

Clothespin Gift Tags // Delia Creates Clothespin Gift Tags // Delia CreatesSo…okay. I am aware that there are some flaws with this kind of gift tag. Each present will require some ribbon or string tied on it for these tags to work, and the tags can easily be swapped around, if someone wants to create a little holiday memory making confusion. 😉

We don’t put gifts out until Christmas Eve, so there is less of a chance, that any mischief makers will switch the tags. But it could be a problem!

Maybe give the little mischievous elf an extra lump of coal. 😉

Clothespin Gift Tags // Delia CreatesOr reserve these tags for neighbor gifts, teacher gifts, or any gift you want to dress to impress.

    Haha, I didn’t even think of swapping the tags around. I’ve wood-burned clothespins before… that would be a fun way to do these too.
