If you are in the middle of a heat spell, as we are here in the Washington DC area, then you are likely not thinking about fall yet. But I realized from the hits on my blog that people are starting to think about Halloween, and so I decided to go ahead and start working on gift tags. These tags say You Are Spooktacular and they are perfect for Halloween treat bags or party favors. I sized the printables for use with the Fiskars Tag Maker. The gift tags may be downloaded free at the end of this post.
Materials:
Printer
Scissors
Large Gift Tag Punch
White Cardstock
Twine
Brown Paper Sacks
Mini Clothespins
STEP 1 Download and Print Your Tags
Download the PDF using the email form at the end of this page and save it. The PDF is a letter size, 8.5×11 inch sheet, with eight tags on a page.
For paper, use a bright white cardstock. If you do not have a printer, you can also just have them printed at an office store local to you. Once you are ready, open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader and then print as many sheets as you need.
STEP 2 Cut Out Your Tags
The tool you need to make these tags is the Fiskars large tag punch. Roughly cut the tags with scissors to remove excess border as needed. Insert your paper and flip the punch over so that you can center the design inside the frame. Then just press down.
Then, turn the punch over and insert the tag into the smaller slot to make a hole for the twine.
STEP 3 Attach Tags
I used a brown paper sack for my gift. I folded down the top and tied orange and white baker’s twine around the top. I used small clothespins to hold it together.

Yes, the DC Heat has been out of control. And these crazy thunderstorms and flooding seems to be a nightly occurrence. These tags, however, are a bright spot as we look forward to cooler temps.
