Sparkly Fabric Gift Tags

By

Wanting a way to gussy up your holiday gift wrapping that requires a minimal amount of time and effort? These Sparkly Fabric Gift Tags are just the ticket! Each takes only a few minutes to make, yet the statement they make on any wrapped gift will make everyone think you are a gift-wrapper extraordinaire. Today I’m going to show you how easily these little gems come together with the help of a fun new product: Tulip Shimmer Sheets.

For this project, you will need…

  • Fabric in assorted patterns and colors
  • Double-sided fusible Peltex (a very heavy-weight stabilizer)
  • Iron
  • Washable ink marker
  • Pinking shears (optional; you can also use regular shears)
  • Coordinating thread
  • Tulip Fashion Glitter Transfer Sheets
  • Hole Punch
  • Baker’s twine
To begin, cut two squares of contrasting fabric and one square of Peltex that are all the same size.
Place one square of fabric face down on your ironing board, and then place the square of Peltex on top. Place the remaining fabric square face up on top of the Peltex layer. Fuse all layers together with a hot iron (no-steam), pressing firmly for 15-20 seconds.
Now, grab a circular object of some sort to use as a template for your tags. (I found a spool of ribbon was just the right size, but anything from a bowl to a glass would do the trick.) Trace a circle around your object onto your fused fabric piece using your washable ink marker. Using pinking shears, carefully cut your circle out.
Machine stitch a couple of times around the perimeter of your tag for added interest. (If you aren’t a sewer, no worries! The glue on the Peltex will hold your layers together even without stitching.)

Now the fun part: embellishing the tags! There is something about the holidays that makes me want to really pull out all of the glittery stops, but I’ll be honest: I am not a fan of the mess of glittered projects, especially with four very curious sets of little hands around. I was really excited, then, when I received two packages of Tulip Fashion Glitter Sheets. These sheets, which come in glittery and holographic styles in an assortment of holiday-worthy colors, allow you to add a glittery or metallic finish to fabric projects without having to deal with the hassle of traditional glitter. Just cut, place on a project, and iron on. I am sold!

I was particularly excited when I saw that the sheets could be cut out with die cutting machines. I decided to use some of my favorite Christmas dies and my manual die cutter to cut out some fun shapes to adhere to my gift tags.

One thing I discovered is that the manual cutter had a hard time cutting all the way through the glitter material, even when I ran it through a couple of times. To remedy this issue, I carefully tore along the lines created by the die cutter to remove my shapes.

For my more detailed shapes, a few of my features fell off as I was separating the shapes from the rest of the sheet. If that happens to you, save all of the pieces, and you can simply join them together before the ironing step later on. Easy solution!

Now, iron the shapes onto your prepared tags according to the product instructions, and then use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of your tag. Thread a piece of twine through the hole, and tie into a bow to secure to the package of your choice.

All finished!

These tags make a sparkly statement on wrapped packages, but they would also be great used as Christmas ornaments, too!

Once you see how easy these are to make, you’ll probably want to make enough for all of your packages this year!

      Thanks, Rhonda! I found the wrapping paper a few weeks ago at Target. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to have it! 🙂

      Thank you, Carol! The wrapping paper was on an endcap at our store in the gift wrap section a few weeks ago.
