Recycled Gift Tags

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Recycle the greeting cards you have received! Make personalized gift tags.

Materials:

  • Used Greeting Cards
  • Ribbon
  • Markers

Instructions:
Very Simple! Cut out the picture or scene on the front of a greeting card. Pinking shears or other fancy edged scissors work wonderfully! Punch a hole in the top, left-hand edge of the picture or scene. String a 4 to 5-inch piece of ribbon through the hole and tie it into a loop. On the back of the picture or scene, write "TO" and FROM". Make sure you leave enough room to write the giver and recipient's names.

Any shape or size picture will work, just make sure you have enough room to punch a hole and write "TO" and "FROM" on it.
