Ran out of Gift Tags?? We have got you covered Free Gift Tag Project

 Holiday Fabric Gift Tags


With the holidays right around the corner, these hand-made gift tags are a great quick and easy project to add to your stack of presents! It's also a nice way to use up any of your Christmas fabric that you have laying around and don't want to wait another 10 months to use. 

The pattern for this project is a free download, available from our website here.

I have also posted a Video on how to make these adorable tags, so make sure to check out the video below.


Additionally, if you have a Cricut Maker or another smart cutter, I've created SVG files for you that can be used to cut out the tag shape, as well as the decorative symbols. This is a fun way to make the gift tags even easier to create. The SVG file is only available right now through our Etsy shop. Personally, I love using my Cricut Maker for cutting out shapes and appliqués! 




Now let's jump in to how to make these festive gift tags!

To make a set of 9 tags, you'll need the following: (3) 1/4 yard fabric pieces, 1 1/2 yards of fusible web and 2 yards of cord or ribbon.

If you're using your Cricut Maker, reference the SVG file to cut out the gift tag shapes from your fabric, as well as the tree, stocking and ornament templates. 


If you're following the traditional cutting method, trace out the templates onto the paper side of fusible web. Press to the wrong side of your fabric and cut out the templates. 


Press an assembled applique shape onto the center of a gift tag. Finish the raw edges of each shape with a decorative stitch, such as a button hole or satin stitch.  Add any embellishments at this time if desired.



Press fusible web to the wrong side of the gift tag front. Place the Gift tag front with the matching gift tag back, wrong sides together. Press the two pieces together, sandwiching the fusible web between the two labels. Using a small Zig Zag Stitch, sew around the outer edge of the gift tag.  

For the small circle opening, you can either do a zig zag stitch along the edge or use a 1/4" eyelet to finish the hole edge. 

Cut a 7" piece of cord. Fold the cord in half and slide the loop end through the finished hole. Pull the cord tails through the loop to create a slip knot to attach to the gift tag. Use the cord to tie the label to your gift. 

Add "To" and "From" with a permanent pen on the back of the label for a personal touch. 

Repeat the steps to finish all 9 gift tags. 


I hope you enjoyed working on this project. If you make this project make sure to share a photo with us. I love to see how you use our patterns.  Have wonderful and safe holiday season!
