Maybe when you read about my daily circus, oh, I mean quick and simple holiday decorating, you noticed how I used wrapped gifts as decor.
And maybe, just maybe, you noticed those silhouette gift tags on those wrapped gifts.

These were so easy to make! For the actual tag, I just drew lines and angled them into the shape of a gift tag on my Silhouette. I drew a little circle in the upper center for string. Then, I grouped all the lines and circle together to make one design.
Whoa, people, watch out, she is actually using her Silhouette to draw.
I know, not really all that impressive.
I bought the silhouette shapes in the Silhouette store. They were $0.99 each and really, y’all know I ain’t got no time to attempt to draw a silhouette on my own.
So, yea, I cut silhouettes on my Silhouette. hahahaha.
She even has terrible jokes.
I adhered the silhouette to the tag with a glue runner and used a gold Sharpie paint pen to draw the designs and write the names.
If you look closely, you will see that the string holding the tag is actually white and gold. I found it at the Target dollar spot when I found the dollar trays I hacked.
I do have to say, thanks to these gift tags and the fab wrapping paper I scored at HomeGoods, my gift wrapping is looking 100 times better than last year.
See how I used these tags to create pumpkin place card holders for Thanksgiving right here!

Carrie @ My Favorite Finds says
Very cute! So ironic, I made gift tags with my Silhouette and pen holder this weekend, too! These are so cute! Did you know there is a file for gift tags? I think mine came with my software, but if you want it, let me know and I’ll email it to you.
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Too funny, Carrie! I did see the file for gift tags, but they weren’t working how I wanted them to, so I made my own!

Kristy gd says
I love these! I think the thing that really makes them is the designs you drew on yourself with the gold marker. 🙂
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Oh, Kristy, you are so sweet! Thank you! I certainly don’t consider myself an artist – so that is a great compliment to get!
Bev says
Love your gift tags! You have talent that I lack….I couldn’t draw a gift tag last night…LOL Did you use cardstock for them?
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Oh, Bev, you can do it! Truth be told – they may be a little uneven, but ya can’t really tell once they are on the gift! I did use card stock for them!

Heather @ new house new home says
Too cute!
I have a question regarding vinyl – I bought some but it’s way to thick to use for stencilling. I saw some lighter vinyl on another one of your posts. What kind do you use? Thanks.
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Hey Heather! What post was that on – I’m not sure I’ve ever used much vinyl…
