I was shopping for gift tags to go with my understated kraft paper wrappings (so crafty!) for this Christmas and was having a really hard time finding something that would work. Now, I primarily (only) shop at Target so I guess my selection was limited, but usually I can find something there. I wanted something a little more modern, maybe even masculine, that could work for the girliest or the manliest of gifts. Unfortunately, everything at the store was either glittery, shiny or just way too frilly.

So I decided to whip up some of my own!

Modern Gift Tag

I like the way they turned out — and the best part is I formatted them so I can print them off sheets at a time, and I can use regular paper, cardstock OR Avery 5960 Easy Peel Address Labels. That’s right! You can print your own sticky gift tag labels – just pick some up at the office supply store or order online.

Note my characters in the To and From — Jace and Clary — I am just slightly obsessed with Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series…

One more ode to Jace & Clary and then I will give you your free printables!

I’m dying to read the current hardcover book but I’m trying to wait until it comes out in paperback. Yes, paperback. Being as digitally savvy as I am, I REFUSE to read books on a handheld. I won’t do it. I love books too much… I love the feeling of the paper, the smell of the book, opening a book for the first time and cracking open that spine… I am a total bookworm.
