I decided to take a step away from the usual red and green colour scheme of Christmas and try some different hues, as well as finding a use for some old leather scraps I had. These tags are a great way to jazz up some plain wrapped gifts, while keeping a rustic and minimalist look.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Cutting Knife
  • Leather Punch
  • Cord
  • Scrap Leather

Steps (7 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Draw the shape of the gift tag onto the back of your leather and cut it out using the cutting knife. (Mine was 9cm x 5cm with the top corners cut off).

  2. 2

    Punch a hole in the top of your tag using the leather hole punch.

  3. 3

    Cut out your decoration from a contrasting colour of leather.

  4. 4

    Tip: if using a pattern, use masking tape to attach the pattern to the leather to avoid piercing the leather with a pin.

  5. 5

    Add some glue to the back of each decoration and stick it onto the tag.

  6. 6

    Thread some cording through the hole of the tag and knot it.

  7. 7

    Attach the tags to your gifts.
