DIY Glitter Present Gift Name Tags

Learn how to make these easy DIY Glitter Present Gift Name Tags for Christmas presents and gifts this holiday season!

When you tell people you’re cheap, they almost always respond, “Me, too!” And maybe we are all frugal or at least try to be. So when I went to the craft store to pick up some pre-made gift tags to glitter up, I gasped at the price. Erm, no. I must have said something aloud because the lady next to me laughed and just said, “Right?”

I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that I went home irked. Why the heck do gift tags and present bows have to cost so much? If you have a weekly coupon and can get 40% or 50% off, that’s all good and well, but sometimes we have other things we want to use the coupon that week. And so when I spied my new book of cardstock I had gotten from Walmart for around the same cost as the tags by themselves, I went and made myself a little pattern and got after it!

In the end, these suckers were CHEAP! Since I am crafty, I already had ink and stamps and glitter and glue and the card stock, even, on hand, so this cost me a whopping ZERO dollars and ZERO sense. Take that craft store!

Supplies Needed for Glitter Present Gift Name Tags

• Cardstock paper (any color, I used brown cardstock)
• Free printable
• Rubber Cement or Glue & brush
• Chunky glitter
• Single hole punch
• “To” stamp (“From” stamp optional) & stamp ink OR marker/pen

How to Make Glitter Present Gift Name Tags

So this free cut file is nothing fancy, but it will get the job done. Print it on your cardstock and cut along the lines. The lines are light gray, so they shouldn’t stand out too terribly much if you don’t cut perfectly. You can also cut using a paper cutter, but that seemed a bit tedious to me, so I went with the scissors.

It is conceivable that you don’t have a single hole punch, but do not fear. You can grab one at Walmart for less than two bucks! Use your punch to create a hole in each tag. Oh, and see how pretty the back of my tags is? They are patterned in glitter and match the fronts I DIYed 🙂

Stamp the word “TO” on your tags, OR use a marker or pen and draw it on. For the colors of glitter, I had matching inks I went matchy-matchy; otherwise, I used black.

Now, I got this set at Walmart (I know, always at Walmart), and it’s meant for bridal invitations, but most of the stamps are actually pretty handy, and the set is less than $5, so I’m all over it.

Brush glue onto the edge of each card and sprinkle with glitter. Allow to sit for a good 5 minutes so the glue takes on as much of the glitter as possible for the ultimate glitz. Also, if you use rubber cement, you don’t have to get a brush dirty. I’m so crafty-lazy sometimes. 🙂

And if you’re wondering you can assembly-line the heck out of these. I have 20 gift tags to use this Christmas AND throughout the year!

Even glittering them can be done all in a go!

You can do whatever colors you’re decorating in this season and get super matchy-matchy.

Or you can be cheap, like me, and just go with the colors you already have on hand!

In the end, they are simple, they are inexpensive…

…and if you don’t mind me saying super freaking fab!
