This is a really simple way to make a Halloween gift tag and perfect for using up scraps of paper and for recycling cardboard.
To make the main part of my tag I used a Sizzix Bigz bookmark die and cardboard packaging left over from a well known delivery company! (Hint Amazon! 😆)
There are many tag and gift label dies on the market if however you don't own a die cutting machine you can also hand cut a tag shape from card or easier still buy some precut tags from a craft shop. I know as I type Hobbycraft in the UK sell them as do other craft shops.
The pumpkin/Jack 'o' Lantern shapes were cut using metal dies I purchased a while ago from Ebay. The cardstock used to cut them from my stash of little scrap pieces, possibly Sizzix cardstock but I am not 100% certain but very similar in thickness and texture.
Once I cut all my pumpkin shapes I glued them straight onto my tag. I used PVA glue.
Once I was sure the shapes were firmly stuck on I gave the whole tag a coat of thinned down white Gesso. Doing this gives it a nice base for adding pens, crayons or inks depending what you choose to use.
