Muffin Cup Gift Tags

Using paper cups that we usually use to bake mini muffins and other sweets is a wonderful idea for fancy DIY gift tags. Moreover, there is nothing complicated about their production.

What will you need?

• paper cups for cupcakes and mini muffins with festive designs
• double-sided tape
• scissors
• needle
• cotton
• decorations (beads, stars)
• decorative ribbon

• Prepare paper cupcakes and first fold each cupcake in half and then in half again. Create a tight fold.
• Cut along the fold line using small scissors, creating two triangles from each cup.
• Next, use double-sided tape to attach three or four triangles.
• Add a decorative ribbon to the back for extra flair and to cover up the double-sided tape.
• Cut a piece of cotton and thread it through the top of the name tag with a needle.
• Tie the two ends of the string together, but not before decorating it with a few beads or other decorations.

DIY gift tags

Many of us somewhat underestimate the importance of name tags when wrapping Christmas presents. We spend a lot of time choosing paper, ribbons, and other decorations, but then we put an unsightly name tag on the gift, or in the worst case, we even write the name of the recipient of the gift directly on the Christmas paper.

At the same time, original name tags for gifts can be a beautiful complement to the overall appearance of the gift, and the fact that we take the time to select or produce them is proof that we care about the gifted person.
