How to Make a Wood Slice Gift Tag or Ornament

On Tuesday, I sent out my first gift guide of the season.  Did you find anything on that guide that you want for yourself?  It's hard to restrain myself during “research” time and not click BUY when I see so many CUTE things!  

To help lower Christmas costs, I also enjoy making homemade gifts.  Soaps, tea towels, home decor, Mason Jar candles, and baking kits are some of my favorites.  To make a gift truly stand out, it's all about the packaging!  I love to add a little ornament or tag to the top to give your present the interest it deserves. 

Today I'm going to show you a really simple DIY gift tag you can make yourself at home with just a little effort.  I found these pre drilled chalkboard wood slices at Target in the Dollar Spot last year.  I'm not sure if they still have them available, but I will send you to a link for pre drilled ones that can be used just as easily in this project.  Using rubber stamps and buffalo check ribbon, I created one-of-a-kind tags that will look great on a gift wrapped present or tied on a Mason Jar.

I may also use these on my tree as ornaments as well.

Supplies:

Pre drilled Wood Slices

Ribbon

Rubber Stamps

Stamp Pad 

 Twine

Instructions:

1. First start by painting on a black paint if you want your slices to have a black background.

2. After drying, choose your stamp and pad and apply your stamp to the center.

3.I made a small bow with my ribbon and then tucked it inside the twine before tightening the loop.

4. Tie your tag onto a present, Mason Jar, or use as an Ornament.

They can be personalized and used for any occasion. 

For this little Mason Jar present, I tucked in a couple of canisters of homemade bath salts, body scrub, and lotions to create a little spa gift for a neighbor.  Just a few minutes of work and you've created a unique little gift for someone special!

To life feeling like home!
