Scrap Buster Gift Tags

While sorting through my fabric scraps, I was pondering if I should keep so many tiny scraps. I found some of my favourite fabrics - and for some favourites,  these small pieces were all I had left.



I made up some Scrap Buster Gift Tags, using some shipping tags and price tags that I had in my stash. I also made up some small tags using scraps of card.




I cut small pieces of fabric to fit the card, and then sprayed them with starch to make the fabric crisp. Using the sewing machine, I stitched the top of the fabric to the tag, and added a length of Divine twine.




I now have a bunch of pretty tags to attach to gifts.




Here are a couple of our past projects featuring quick ideas for gift tags.

Really what a beautiful packing this all products are having really awesome I have never seen such a good and a beautiful idea of packing in such a way. I am just getting hungry after seeing these beautiful packed products. After seeing a good packaging we like to buy it in other way we are making two progresses in a single beneath.

So Love This Idea!!!

Besides a sewer/quilter, I am a paper crafter, so I can make the tags no problem. The problem that I had was throwing out the 1" square pieces of fabric. You saved me, I now have a way to use them!!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
