CRAFTS

S C E N T E D G I F T TAG S These miniature potpourri gift tags can have a second life – pop them in a clothes drawer afterwards. You will need Thin fabric; red and white thread; needle; Christmas potpourri; felt; glue; small envelope; marker pens

3 Fill the bag with potpourri and secure with a piece of thread knotted at one end. Cut a star out of the felt and glue to the other end of the thread. 4 Decorate the star and envelope using the pens. Slide the potpourri bag into the envelope and seal, leaving the star-adorned thread hanging out. Label the envelope and attach to your gift.

1 Cut two identical rectangles of fabric, slightly smaller than your envelope. 2 Place them on top of each other and sew them together with thread along three sides, starting with a long side, using back stitch or blanket stitch and fasten off.

3D FINISHING TOUCHES Decorate plain gift wrap or create a cute gift tag with these adorable ideas. You will need Marker pens; clear PVA glue; buttons; ribbons; thread; felt

1 Use a marker pen to draw a simple festive object or animal on your wrap or gift tag. 2 Glue on buttons, ribbons, thread and felt shapes to bring your creation to life. 3 You could use a red button and draw eyes and antlers above it for a simple reindeer, or stack white buttons to make a snowman.
