brown paper gift tags

I made these vintage brown paper gift tags as a guest post over at Sugar Bee Crafts.  I am posting the tutorial here in case you missed seeing it over there!

brown bags

Cut out (2) 8 1/2 x 11 pieces of paper from a brown paper bag.

gift tagsto and from

Print these images onto the pieces of brown paper or make your own image sheet, if you prefer.  Just feed the pieces of brown paper into the printer the same way you would your regular paper.  You can either print them by clicking on the image to make it larger and printing them from there or by getting them here and here.

gift tags printed on brown bags

Glue the 2 pages wrong sides together.  Another option would be to print the tag wording in the reverse side of the paper but I had images on the back so I couldn’t do that.

add strings to tags

Cut out the tags and trim the corners by clipping at an angle or by using a corner rounder.  Ink the edges or draw lines on the tags.  Punch a hole in the top center of each tag and loop a piece of twine through the holes.

Now you have some vintage tags to add to your gifts that are so much cuter than what you can find at the store and a lot cheaper too!

    These are so pretty. I love doing paper crafts but I hate when the end result looks juvenile. This is a perfect paper craft that will be entirely useful at the end. Thanks for sharing – I am definitely pinning.

    You must be a mind reader Tonia. Only this morning I was wondering where I’d seen some vintage gift tags and here you are. I did see them on your guest post but thanks for reposting. What would I do without you? LOLAnne xx

    Okay this awesome. I am OBSESSED with vintage gift tags so much so that it takes all the control in the world when browsing Etsy not to purchase every set of tags I see! Love that you used the grocery bag.

    These are beautiful, Tonia! You know, I’m not sure I would have thought of printing them out on brown paper to achieve the aged look…I would have probably struggled and gotten upset trying to get that look by hand…genius idea!
