How 2 Make Your Own Gift Tags
How 2 Make Your
Own Gift Tags

We've got crafty tendencies here at M2O, so this month we've decided to put those on display. We show you how, with just a few supplies, you can make your very own gift tags.  

 

Sit down and make a bunch at once, so you'll have a collection that you can use throughout the year. Slap one of those babies on a house-warming, wedding, or birthday gift and you'll make an extraordinary impression!

   

You can let us know how much you like our video by leaving a comment on our YouTube channel!

Unique. Independent. Different.

Hi there!  

 

We know as well as anyone that this time of year can be overwhelmingly busy. If you are feeling the pressures of the season, we want to help!  

 

This month we will continue to provide you with time saving tips on our Facebook fan page. Though we touch on each of our services during the month, our focus for December is on gift giving and wrapping. Speaking of, our latest video features 3 easy ways to label your gifts with unique handmade gift tags. Please join us on our blog for lots of other cool tips too.

 

It's our pleasure to offer a discount on our "O Your Gifts" service this month. Hopefully this will allow you to take another task off of your plate. Check out the details below or just go ahead and schedule your urban organizing session online now.  

 

There are only 2 more months left to contribute to our shoe drive. Email us to schedule a pickup or you can bring them to the next Mixins Chicago event. Thank you for your support!

 

   

Making a Simple Ribbon Bow 

 Bow Picture

The bow-tie shape created using this method means that it can
be used to adorn a gift box, jewelry box
, headband, or barrette.
Try it with different ribbon and you'll find that you
have a bow for every occasion! 

 

You'll Need:

~ 8 inches of 1.25 inch wired ribbon

~ 1 inch of .5 inch ribbon

~ 6 inches of thin wire (24 gauge)  

~ Wire cutters 

~ Scissors 

~ Lighter

~ Glue gun or needle and thread


1. Cut  your ribbons to the dimensions specified above.  

Spark the lighter and run the fire gently along the cut edges of
the ribbon to heat seal and avoid fraying. Be fast and be careful!   

 

2. Take the longest cut ribbon and make a loop, overlapping  

the edges by 3/4 of an inch. Pinch the ribbon in half,  
meeting all 3 layers in the middle, creating a bow-tie shape.  

 

3. Wrap the pinched area tightly with the wire, twisting securely.   

Snip off any excess wire.          

 

4. Cover the wire with the 1 inch piece of ribbon. Secure using two dots of hot glue on each ribbon end or by sewing  the 3 layers together.     

 


5 Gift Wrapping Quick Tips



1. If you are transporting your gifts, wait until you arrive at your destination to attach the bows so they don't get smooshed.

2. According to the TSA, if you are flying do not
wrap your gifts in advance.


3. Get creative when writing your gift tags.
Use nicknames, pet names, or other fun designations.

(ie. To: My Honey Bear, From: Santa Claus)


4. Add strands of curling ribbon to any
ordinary bow to spice it up a notch.


5. If you are giving someone more than one gift,
switch up the location of the tag and bow on each package.
