Cookie cutter Christmas gift tags

I have a brilliant craft to share with you today, cookie cutter gift tags which is a great way to recycle Christmas cards. For some reason I packed away last years’ Christmas cards, fully intending to recycle them into gift tags. Today I finally found the time to make them.

Equipment needed to make cookie cutter Christmas gift tags:
Christmas cards
Festive cookie cutters

Scissors
Hole punch
Ribbon

How to make cookie cutter Christmas gift tags:

Pick a part of each card that you want to keep and position your chosen cookie cutter over it.
