HoliDIY: Homemade Gift Tags

Dec 3, 2012 at 8:00am by Lauren Conrad
v0kxjs9A6PyMKO9DnB8YcpmT.png:Amazon:photo



I am excited to announce that throughout the month of December I will be guest blogging for iVillage! To kick things off, I put together this post about adding the perfect personal touch to your gift giving this holiday season. Here’s a sneak peek of my first post...

During the holiday season I think a lot of us get caught up in the idea of giving simply to give instead of giving thoughtfully. To ensure my presents feel personalized, I like to make my own gift tags.  It’s really quite simple and doesn’t require a lot of time, but makes a big difference as opposed to using store-bought tags.

This year, I started making gift tags with watercolors and watercolor paper.

To read the rest of my first post, click here!

XO Lauren

      I love making my own gift tags! I love using 'punches' and stamps. My favorite is coloring in the fun stamps to add some pizzazz.
