DIY Gift Tags with Washi Tape

Impress all of your friends with your gift wrapping this year just by incorporating these cute DIY gift tags made just with a little Scotch Expressions washi tape!

I am not one of those people who can wrap a gift and make it look amazing. I did volunteer for a gift wrapping booth when I was in high school for one of the million clubs I was a part of but other than a few tricks to getting the corners perfect, I didn’t learn much at all. Honestly most of the time I end up wrapping everything last minute and go as quickly as I can, just making sure the entire package is covered.

I know, it’s a little pathetic.

I decided this year is going to be different, so I decided to up my game with some cute DIY gift tags that I created using Scotch Expressions washi tape.

The Scotch Expressions washi tape is perfect for creating your own gift tags because it comes in a ton of different colors and designs, both holiday and non-holiday for those of you who prefer something other than the traditional red. Unlike some of the cheaper washi tape I’ve bought, the Scotch Expressions washi tape sticks incredibly well and the glitter doesn’t come off! It’s glitter without all of the mess of glitter!

I’ve included instructions for a handful of the different gift tags that I made below but don’t stop there. Buy whatever designs you prefer and get creative with different combinations of colors, textures, and shines. You could also do things like an angel, a nativity, words, or even mini washi tape snowflakes!

I highly recommend the Expressions Multi Roll Dispenser ; it makes it so much easier to use the Expressions tape when you’re using a variety of colors and styles like I did for these tags!

DIY Gift Tags with Washi Tape

DIY Snowman Gift Tag

Supplies :

• White gift tag
• Blue Scotch Expressions glitter washi tape
• Red Scotch Expression metallic washi tape
• Black Scotch Expressions glitter washi tape
• Gold Scotch Expressios metallic washi tape or orange Scotch Expressions washi tape

Instructions:

1. Cut two strips of blue tape that are the same size and just a little less wide than your gift tag, cut three more strips of blue tape that are a little less wide than the first two strips.
2. Tape on to your gift tag with the two longer strips at the bottom and stacking the three shorter strips on top.
3. Cut a top hat out, mouth, eyes, and arms out of black glitter washi tape. For the arms, I cut one piece of washi tape in half and then just cut three slits for fingers at the end of each piece of tape.
4. Cut one piece of red washi tape in half. Put half of it on the snowman’s neck and then the other half on the right end of the first piece, hanging down like a scarf.
5. Cut a small triangle out of the gold or orange washi tape for a nose.

DIY Christmas Tree Gift Tag

Supplies:

• White gift tag
• Green Scotch Expressions glitter washi tape
• Gold Scotch Expressions metallic washi tape

Instructions:

1. Cut five pieces of green glitter washi tape, each one a little shorter than the other.
2. Tape them to the gift card starting with the longest piece of tape on the bottom and moving up to the shortest piece at the top.
3. Cut a star out of the gold metallic tape and place at the top of the tree.

DIY Present Gift Tag

Supplies:

• White gift tag
• Two patterned Scotch Expressions washi tapes
• One solid Scotch Expressions glitter washi tape that coordinates with the two patterned tapes

Instructions:

1. Cut four pieces of patterned washi tape, two pieces of each of the two patterned tapes, cutting all four pieces to the same size.
2. Tape the four pieces on your gift card, alternating patterns horizontally like you are creating a layer cake.
3. Cut four pieces of equal length solid glitter washi tape.
4. Tape three of the pieces on top of the present sticking up at angles like 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00 on a clock.
5. Cut the other piece in half and tape one of the halves at 10:00 and one at 2:00 to finish off the gift bow.

Reindeer Gift Tag

Supplies:

• Brown gift tags
• Red Scotch Expressions metallic washi tape
• Black Scotch Expressions glitter washi tape

Instructions:

1. Cover the very bottom of the gift tag with the red washi tape for Rudolph’s shining nose.
2. Cut either round or square eyes out of the black washi tape and tape onto the tag where eyes would go on a reindeer’s face.

Dress up a basic gift package with Scotch Expressions glitter tape instead of ribbon then tape one of your new gift tags on with the Scotch Brand double-sided permanent tape for the perfect holiday gift wrapping.
