How To Use Your Free Chicken Name Gift Tags
Once you’ve printed your tags, cut along the border with scissors or a paper cutter.
You can adhere your tags directly to your gifts with tape, or use a hole punch and add ribbon or twine to adhere them to your gifts.
I used a hole punch and jute twine to add my tags to my gifts, with a little clipping from the tree to add a special touch.
What Can I Use Instead of A Gift Tag?
If you don’t have gift tags and can’t print our free tags, there are some things around your house that you could use.
- Brown Paper Lunch Sacks
- Index Cards
- Old Greeting Cards or Christmas Cards
- Wrapping Paper
How do you make a gift tag out of paper?
I have used basic printing paper as name tags, but because it’s so thin, it curls and doesn’t look good in my opinion.
I either use card stock for my name tags, or I glue thin paper to a thin piece of cardboard like a Kleenex or cereal box.
Making A Gift Tag Out of Paper Instructions
- Glue the paper (or use double sided sticky tape) to the printed side of a cardboard box.
So the plain side is facing outwards. - Let dry.
- Trace out a business card on to the paper.
- Cut out the shape.
- Use a hole punch to punch a hole in the corner or top center.
- Thread ribbon or yarn through the hole.
- Attach the name tag to your gift.
Tips For Printing Your Free Christmas Chicken Name Gift Tags
- You can use regular printer paper but I’ve found it to be too thin for my taste. I suggest using card stock. Card stock is thicker and doesn’t curl or rip easily.
- Laser printers will offer a better quality than inkjet.
- If you don’t have a printer you can upload the goat name gift tags to a thumb drive and take them to Walmart, Office Depot, CVS, Walgreens, or any other store that offers a printing service, and they can print them for you.
- If you don’t have colored ink, you can print your tags in black and white.
