My Holiday Open House is this weekend and I'm getting some things ready for my shoppers. A favorite is the Make N Take tags. This year, I've come up with two.
I'm calling them the Santa Suit Tag and the 3D Tree Tag.
Both are very simple. I'd suggest making a bunch, assembly line style and using them to add decor to all your holiday packages this year! AND... guess what? If you can make a tag - you can turn the same design into a card. Play around with these two ideas for a variety of holiday decorating items...place cards, buntings, the sky is the limit!
Here are the tags.

Step 1: Cut a tag from red cardstock and a hole at the top of the tag
Step 2: Cut 2 green rectangles 1.5” X 2”
Step 3: Place a dot at the top of the green rectangles. Center the dot on halfway on the 1.5” side.
Step 4: Make a diagonal cut from the dot to the right corner. Then, make another diagonal cut from the dot to the left corner. A triangle will remain.
Step 5: Fold or score the triangle in half long ways.
Step 6: Open the folded triangle part way.
Step 7: Line up the folded triangle edges next to one another along the center of the tag, the base of the triangle will be against the bottom edge of the tag.
Step 8: Punch a yellow star using the star on the galaxy maker
Step 9: Attach the star to the tag slightly under the tip of the tree
TA DA! Congrats – you’ve made an EASY 3D Tree Tag
