DIY Snowflake Glitter Gift Tags

Holiday crafting is in full swing at our house, and with Jenna becoming a dedicated little artist, I have a very willing partner in crime craft. This week I used some of the clay left over from our beaded necklaces to make a few gift tags. These are super easy to make and could be used for ornaments as well.

So, um. What’s in the gift box?

[...] It started with these simple necklaces that Jenna and I made recently, and then I moved on to gift tags. Now, I’m hooked. This weekend we made a few more gift tags, and craft-adverse Jason even got [...]

You know, you make it look so darn easy — but my house would be wall-to-wall glitter at the end of this project! What the heck is up with the fact that glitter migrates the second it is released from its home?
Beautiful gift tags — truly — even though I’m skeptical of the glitter…

Ha – I know what you mean! I think my house is covered in so much glitter I hardly notice it anymore. I have a 3-yr old glitter-loving daughter …

Last New Year’s Eve I bought hats with glitter. They looked so festive. Now, almost a year later I still see flecks of sparkle in places that were never meant to shine!

…to you, juleed, and to morristownmemos by Ronnie Hammer (below): Thank you for helping me feel that I’m NOT alone in my glitter-challenged-ness!

A cookie sheet is a great way to keep glitter from getting every where.

Cute! Great idea

What a cute idea! I’ve been looking for something to dress up a basic present for my co-workers.
Comment by rae— November 29, 2011 #
Love this idea, I am going to try it myself. It looks so easy but so cute

I love these tags. Such a great idea. I also like the design and name of your blog. It’s so fresh and clean. Your captions on your photos really caught my eye and it makes for an elegant presentation.

Wow, thanks for such awesome and encouraging comments!!! Being featured on FP is really making my day!
Comment by juleed— November 29, 2011 #
AWESOME IDEA! NOW I WANT TO MAKE SOME & PERHAPS I CAN STENCIL THE RECIPIENTS NAME ON THE SNOWFLAKE TOO! WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU CREATED?
Comment by Nikitaland— November 29, 2011 #
Very cute… I love your blog!

After it was on the gift I would want to move it to my keychain…what do you think…or do you think it would break to easily? So pretty…you are so crafty…
Comment by Evie Garone— November 29, 2011 #
I think this would totally work as a keychain. You can always roll out the clay a little thicker so it won’t break. I’ve also made beads out of the same clay, and those have held up really well.
Comment by juleed— November 29, 2011 #
Very cute! I just might try this.
I know what you mean about the glitter; I’m making our Christmas cards and there is glitter everywhere – no 3-year-old involvement either! : )

I will be honest with you. I clicked on this thinking I would not like it very much, but I was wrong. These are some cute little items to include on packages. Thanks for showing us how to do it.
Comment by Kenneth Mark Hoover— November 29, 2011 #
I appreciate your honesty … and I’m happy to hear that these little snowflakes won you over in the end! Thanks for visiting.
Comment by juleed— November 29, 2011 #
Nice idea! And very pretty.
One Christmas many moons ago, I wrapped a present for my boyfriend’s mother in a way we all thought beautiful: two sheets of red semiopaque acetate with a handful of tinsel held between them. It was gorgeous, but boy, was she not pleased when the tinsel dropped in her lap as she opened the present! Thus, I will not do this again for someone who has no sense of humor. : )
Comment by Sarah Doyle— November 29, 2011 #
Who doesn’t like tinsel?? I guess you never know …
Comment by juleed— November 29, 2011 #
so cute!
Comment by skybluewithdaisies— November 29, 2011 #
Such a clever and apt idea!
I think I will do something similar, you’ve inspired me!
Saw the other post just about, about the beaded necklace…Very funky indeed. Strangely though, they look edible O.o Hehe
Comment by iamtonguencheek— November 29, 2011 #
What a great fun family activity and you end up with something far better than store-bought tags. Great post.
Comment by newsy1— November 29, 2011 #
A DIY project that actually looks doable, thanks!

Comment by Alison Han— November 29, 2011 #
Super cute! I bought awesome wrapping paper yesterday but was stumped on gift tags to use on it. These are perfect! Do you think permanent marker would work to label one side of them?
Comment by dearexpletivebaby— November 29, 2011 #
I actually tried writing a name using a silver Sharpie marker. It definitely worked, but I think I’m going to buy a nice metallic paint pen to use the next time.
Comment by juleed— November 29, 2011 #
Simply … lovely. Sweet little idea. Thanks for sharing.

Comment by Java Girl— November 29, 2011 #
Very pretty! Do you write on them or just for decoration. Love your blog and the glittery thought.
Comment by Fiona @ lifelyricslemoncake— November 29, 2011 #
Yes, you can definitely write on them. I used a Sharpie, but a nicer paint pen from an art/craft store would probably be better.
Comment by juleed— November 29, 2011 #
Super cute. I’m a huge fan of DIY, I will have to keep coming back to see what else you are doing!

Very creative! I love it! Easy, inexpensive, two of my favorite things.
Comment by theproverbswoman— November 29, 2011 #
Have you heard about the pintrest scandal about DIY gift tags that look very much like these? Someone swiped a pic from an artist webpage and then posted a salt dough receipe under it. The tags were actually earthenware clay as yours may be and because pintrest always credits the original website for pins, the artist page was bombarded with would be DIYers, who’s salt dough receipe didn’t turn out. I wrote it up on my blog and there is a link to the artist website there.

Wow, I hadn’t heard about that. Awful that someone would do that. I’ll take a look at your post. Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately I mine didn’t look as nice as yours! You make it look so easy
Comment by septic tank emptying scotland— November 30, 2011 #
Going to have to try this! Might leave out the glitter though, I think I might run the risk of reverting to a child again if I used it!
Comment by Green Eyes Fashion— November 30, 2011 #
Amazing!! Cool photos as well.. Did you buy those moulds??
Comment by meerachandra— November 30, 2011 #
I just used a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter. I think I bought a set at Williams-Sonoma last year.
