Gum Leaf Gift Tags

This one may just be our favourite Christmas craft of the year โ€“ theyโ€™re super simple to make, look gorgeous, and are a lovely keepsake for family members receiving them on their gifts.

Materials

  • Flat, long leaves (we chose gum leaves)
  • Brightly coloured paint
  • Glitter (optional)
  • Permanent marker

Method

This one is pretty much plug and play!

Step 1: Paint your leaves, with as much or as little coverage as you like, and then add glitter while the paint is still damp.ย  (If you donโ€™t fancy vacuuming glitter up when the gifts are unwrapped on Christmas Day, maybe skip this step).

Step 2: Allow to dry, and then write your message on your โ€œtagโ€.ย  Use a hole punch to pierce a hole in the leaf to attach to a gift with string, or use sticky tape.

Et voila! A simple, fun, eye-catching craft with a practical use for Christmas Day.
