a simple diy :: christmas tag

I had a friend ask me to participate in a Holiday Craft Fair at her son’s school and I have been trying to come up with some ideas. This is a simple DIY Christmas Tag that can be used so many different ways. The Christmas Tag would be cute to hang wherever the buyer chooses. I was thinking of some of those that are dear to me that are in rehabilitation facilities and thought this would be a great size to hang on their walls. It’s so unfortunate that they will be in rehab during the holidays. A gentleman that I have known for years, Mr. Paul has been in and out of a health care facility for over a year now because his poor body has just had it. I am grateful that I know people like this that love the Lord, and are always in good spirits despite their physical handicaps.

Materials::

1/4 inch plywood
Black, White, and gold acrylic paint
Twine
Drill
Drill bit
Sander
Band Saw
Scissors

Step 1:: First you will need to cut your 1/4 inch plywood. I used scraps and mine were approximately 11X7 inches.

Step 2:: Sand your tags and paint them black. Make sure to paint your edges and the back of your tag. If you choose you could do another saying on the reverse side.

Step 3:: Once your tags dry paint the words in white and the star gold.

Step 4:: Once you have drilled your hole you can add your jute twine and hang wherever you like throughout your home to enjoy. Or if you enjoy gifting you can give this as a gift to someone else.

This DIY Christmas Tag can be made small enough to go on presents for large enough to go on your front door. You can embellish it anyway you want, the larger you make it the more you can embellish. I would also like to make a larger one for my front door.

Would you hang this Christmas Tag in your home?
