Inspired by a birthday.

Yes, todays idea of thought was inspired prior to attending  a family members birthday party (which was quiet fun I'd say). Today I am going to share a crafty idea on how to make some Gift Tags( round and square). Items that you have on hand, that you've been saving now you can do something with. I will show you how to take cupcake liners, party favor bags, ribbon and paper and make something special.

Items you will need:
(All your choice for occasion or whatever you have at home)

Cupcake liners
or Party Favor Bags
Ribbon
Paper ( I used white business card computer paper and card stock)
Glue Stick, clear colored  (optional)
Scissors
Paper whole puncher
Pencil
Cookie cutter round 2inch(or you could use the bottom of a glass)
Tape (optional)


First decide which design you would like to do round or square.
For the round need to take your paper( I used the card stock for the round) and outline the cookie cutter
on it. Then cut circles out with the scissors.

 Spread  out the cupcake liner so its flat. Put some glue on back of the paper. Now place the paper circle in the inside of the liner and start folding in the sides. Now take the whole puncher and place a whole on the liner towards the top. Then cut the ribbon (length of your choice)place throught the whole in liner and tie a bow or knot(whatever you would like).  You can write on the paper then fold the edges back in towards center and there you have it.

For the square, I just tear one business card off the business card paper. Then I take a party favor bag
and with the scissors I cut a square size off (Close to size of business card). Place the piece of party  favor bag on top of card and while holding together make a whole punch on top. Place desired piece of ribbon through whole and tie or knot the ribbon. Now you will see I also made another square  gift tag. I fold another business card in half. The same instruction apply for this card as the first one. I might add, you can use the glue stick on the back of the party bag. Then place it on top of paper too, if you do not want the loose look.

Ok, so you can really use your imagination on this one. These can be used for any occassion too.

This craft is something fun and simple your kids could help you do.

So have fun and remember, make it yours!

And that's the" DISH" for today!
