Step 1: At the beginning, print one of our templates and cut out the desired motif with the scissors.

Step 2: Then transfer the outlines of the motif, here it is an angel, in pencil on construction paper.

Step 3: Now cut the motif again with the pair of scissors.

Step 4: Now use a punch or punch to punch a hole in the gift tag so you can attach it to the gift.

Step 5: Finally, label the pendant with the name of the person to be gifted! You can use glitter pens, noble fineliner or effect pens. Finished!

Tannenbaum-trailer

These noble tree gift tags are perfect for bookworms.

You need:

• a page from an old book
• scissors
• glue
• Punch or punch
• String, gift ribbon or string

Step 1: Take the page from the old book to hand. Cut one long side round so that the surface of the page becomes a semicircle.

Step 2: Then lay the semicircle in front of you so that the straight edge is at the top. Fold the right point to the left to create a small triangle.

Step 3: Apply the paper to the back. After that, zigzag the left-side half of the paper several times to make a pointed fir-tree.
