:: DIY - Christmas Tags ::

I've been feeling extra crafty lately, so I channeled my creativity into making some super cute (and easy!) Christmas crafts. I decided to make some Christmas gift tags out of paint sample cards. I drew my inspiration from a pin I saw on Pinterest (by the way, how good is Pinterest?!).

I went to Bunnings and chose some cute coloured paint sample cards, then took out my stamps, corner cutters, Christmas hole punches, and got to work! This is some of what I created ...

You know what the best thing about these gift tags is? You don't even need stamps and cutters, all you need is a hole punch and a permanent marker to write your gift recipients name with. It'll still be super cute and everyone will love it!

Do you have any Christmas crafts you're working on at the moment? I've also made a wreath out of lollies and a shabby chic style star wreath out of fabric scraps and buttons.





PS. This is what my room looked like after the weekend!

    Aww these are SO cute! <3 I'm useless at craft making! I have such a short attention span that i get bored half way through making things then just abandon them hehe. I have loads of random half made clay pots, candles and drawings just lying around >_<!

    Jasmine! Your vomit stories are hilarious!! I mean dont get me wrong they are truly disgusting but at the same time just so good O_O! You should definetly create a seperate blog devoted to them hehe. Although i may be your only follower :( but a devoted one i promise! <3 xxx

    ps glad you have internet to blog again!!

    What a sweet idea! I just love paint chips...at first I felt bad about using them with no intentions of purchasing paint, but I've since given that up and take them by the handful! :)

    My living room looked much like your craft room this weekend. Around the holidays, I often just give up on "picking up". It all just comes back out the next day! :)

    Oh Jasmine you have been so crafty lately I miss being crafty too. You're tags are just gorgeous! I need this crafting day of yours. The after math is never pretty haha. :)

    P.S. So far from the Advent I've gotten, those pfeffernusse biscuits on day 1, day 2 was a fat red and black polka dot notebook from Typo, day 3 was pink mushroom Christmas ornament. SO far Jason has done so well! What about you?
