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.DIY Silhouette Gift Tags via rainonatinroof.com #silhouette

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!

  2. 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.

    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.

    1. Hey Heather! What post was that on – I’m not sure I’ve ever used much vinyl…
