What Can I Use for Gift Tags?
There are lots of different ways to make gift tags for the holidays and beyond.
Of course you can always head to the store and purchase a Hallmark card, but I it’s much more budget-friendly, especially when you are tagging Christmas gifts, to keep costs down.
Here are a few ideas of things that can be used for gift tags.
- Extra Wrapping Paper
- Brown or White Paper Bags
- Cardstock
- Scrapbook Paper
- Magazine or Newspaper Clippings
- Boxes, Cardboard or other Packaging
- Printables
- Apps Like Canva
To keep gift wrapping and tagging costs down, I like to keep a roll of brown craft paper, different size ribbons, and cardstock around for just this purpose.

Much like the way I cook, I love doing crafts that don’t require a whole bunch of supplies that I need to go out and buy.
So if you have some of the basics on hand, these DIY scented gift tags will be a cinch to make!
Here’s what you need.
- Card Stock or Tags
- Pine or Boxwood Branches

Directions to Make Scented Christmas Gift Tags DIY
And as simple as the supplies are to acquire, the directions to make them are even easier.
But first, you’ll need to head out to the landscape and cut some evergreens like pine or boxwood branches.
If you want to make this for something other than the holidays, try using other types of foliage like rhododendron leaves or cut flower heads.
To make the gift tags:
- Cut small pieces of evergreen to fit the size of the card stock gift tags to look like a Christmas tree.
- Using a hot glue gun, glue the green down onto the card stock.
- Complete the look by writing “to:” and “from:” on the card stock.
