Freebie: Care instructions and parody gift tags
Posted by Underground Crafter on December 3, 2011 | Short Link
As I work my way through my holiday crafting gift list, I thought I would share some freebies with those of you in the same predicament: printable care instructions and priceless parody gift tags.
Here’s my technique for using gift tags.
- My downloads are formatted for pre-scored inkjet business cards (Avery 8371 or Staples 610381), but you can also print on card stock and then cut afterwards. (To cut the card stock yourself, print on an 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet in portrait. After printing, trim 1/2″ off the top and bottom margins and 3/4″ off the right and left margins. Each tag measures 2″ x 3-1/2″.) I print both labels the on the same sheet (care instructions on one side and priceless parody on the other).
- Personalize the tags.

A sample personalized parody tag. (I used the U.S. federal minimum wage, though of course I wish that artisan labor was valued higher!)
- After printing and dividing the tags, I use a 1/8” hole punch to create a small hole in an upper corner.
- With a yarn needle, I thread a small amount of yarn (very cute if it is a scrap from your project!) through the hole and into my handmade gift.
These are formatted so that you can print 10 of each tag on a page. Enjoy!

These are really cute. Especially the parody one. Too bad I bought some cute Handmade by me you better love it … Cards from a lady who makes them locally. That and I didn’t keep track of how long anything takes me. I think I’ll save these for other gifts though. Thanks!
Thanks Gwendolyn! Actually on the new MasterCard commercials, they just leave everything blank, so you could try that also when you use them
