DIY Christmas No. 4: Gift Tag Flags tutorial




Everyone's getting ready for Christmas...gifts are being wrapped & delivered...it's a busy time of year & it's my favorite. I'm really trying to enjoy it & keep it simple.
So, I've incorporated one of my favorite little DIY projects into our Christmas this year: toothpick flags.

it's as easy as 1.2.3.
supplies:
1. toothpicks or bamboo skewers
2. faux pearls, beads, jewels..whatever you have around
3. House of 3 Printables: Christmas Carols and/or Christmas Cheer backgrounds


steps:
1. Stick the tip of the toothpick in the hole of the pearl, bead or jewel. glue it to keep it sturdy.
2. Cut out a Christmas Carol saying & glue around the tooth pick right under the pearl & cut out a notch.
OR.
3. Cut out a long strip of Christmas Cheer paper & do step 2 above, adding a Christmas Carol saying on top to add a word...OR just type: for you. a gift. to: from: etc. customize with your computer for a fun, festive gift tag...then, top your gift with the little flags!
enjoy!
