DIY Christmas Tags and Silhouette Black Friday Deals

27 November 2013

Here's a quick and easy tutorial for how to make DIY christmas tags along with amazing Black Friday deals from Silhouette!

 

If you've been reading The Pink Flour for awhile, you've probably had a chance to see the projects I've made using my Silhouette - like this personalized frame or these football drinking glasses.

Today, I'm sharing an easy way to make tags for your Christmas presents using the Silhouette and adhesive cardstock. And make sure to keep reading to find out about the great deals Silhouette has going on for Black Friday this year so you can get your own Silhouette. 

DIY Christmas Tags


Supplies:
-glitter cardstock
-adhesive cardstock
-hole punch

1. Using the Silhouette design program, create scalloped circles approximately 3 inches in diameter. Using the cutting mat, feed the glitter cardstock into the Silhouette machine and cut the circles out. 

2. Also in the Silhouette design program, create circles approximately 2.75 inches. In the middle of each circle, insert a Christmas tree shape or other shape, if desired. Using the cutting mat, feed the adhesive cardstock into the Silhouette machine and cut the circles out. 

3. Next, peel each Christmas tree cutout from the adhesive backing and place in the center of the glitter scalloped circles. Punch a hole at the top of each tag and attach them to your package using ribbon. 

Want to make these tags or other great projects with your own Silhouette? Well, if you've been thinking about purchasing a Silhouette Portrait or Cameo for yourself this is the time to do it. Silhouette has some amazing Black Friday deals - these a pretty much the best prices you will get all year.

I love the added touch of sparkle this card has, but don't worry it's not real glitter so it won't get all over the place :)
