I love taking a bit of time during the holiday season to add a personal touch to gift wrap. Since my older daughter loves to sew I decided to create some festive gift tags that she could embroider alongside me.

Cork, eraser, or a felt pad
Thumbtack
Sewing needle

How to Create Embroidered Christmas Gift Tags

First, download the free Christmas gift tags. They’re available in the Free & Unfettered Resource Library.

Then print the tags onto heavy cardstock. Next, cut them apart.

Using either cork or an eraser, begin pin punching the tag in desired locations.

Older children with experience pin punching can do this step independently. For younger children you may wish to pin punch the holes yourself.

Once the holes are punched, thread a needle with embroidery floss and begin to sew. It’s best not to overthink it here. There really isn’t a ‘wrong’ way of doing these. Just let your creativity flow and enjoy the process.

Just stitch back and forth, up and down, diagonally across, etc. until you’re satisfied with the result.

My daughter enjoys using a lot of different colors and even decided to add additional stitching around the border of a couple of the tags. It’s fun to see the embellishments she chooses for her gifts!
