Christmas is a time of giving, sharing and spending time with your loved ones. It’s also a time when presentation is everything and there’s nothing more appreciated than a thoughtful and well-presented gift. It’s the little details like adding a pretty tag that make presents extra special. Why not take it a step further and make them into fun 3D tags that could easily double up as a keepsake? It’s easier than you think...

Have a rummage in your stash and try to find some dies that are symmetrical when folded in half. The idea is to die-cut a few identical shapes, like circles to create pretty baubles, stars, hearts, triangles or trees, but you don’t have to stop there. You can use more detailed dies like snowflakes, snowmen and more!

Fold the shape in half, stack them by following their shape then adhere the sides repeatedly to create a fun 3D embellishment that you can attach onto any flat surface such as a card or tag. These 3D embellishments can be embellished with jewels and sequins, or sponged with ink to define their shape. They can also be made from patterned paper to help them really stand out.

The little ones will get plenty of fun from 3D shaker tags and can hang them on the Christmas tree after! They look pretty and sparkly and just perfect for the festive season. I hope you will give it a try!
