I just love this time of the year! I have so many beautiful memories from past Christmases, especially around creative crafts with my mum and sister and gift-giving.

This year I’ve put together some new calligraphy gift tag printables that you can download and use for your gifts by clicking the link at the end of this post. They’re created with a nib and ink and some added star details.

I also love making my own wrapping paper with calligraphy, this year I’ve gone for gold on white but I also adore using brown paper. I have a tutorial on how to create your own calligraphy wrapping paper and ribbons here if you are interested in making your own.

Have the most wonderful Christmas and holidays with your family and friends. Also, if you upload any photos of your gift creations with the gift tags make sure you tag me as I’d love to see them! @mathildalundin

Merry Christmas!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Printable download (you’ll find this at the end of this post)

• White (or other light) card stock of choice (I like to use something a bit heavier to add a bit of sturdiness to my tags, approximately 200 - 300gsm)

• Computer & printer

• PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe Reader)

• A hole punch

• Ribbon or twine

​

STEPS

1. Download your gift tags and open up with your PDF viewer

2. Print out the gift tags on A4 or US letter paper. I like to use a matte paper stock between 200-300 gsm and feed through the fine art front tray of my printer. Make sure to have a look at what tray and thickness is suitable for your printer and that your print quality is set to 'high'.

3. Using scissors, a scalpel or guillotine, cut around the line on the outer edges. I like to use a scalpel and metal ruler on a cutting mat.

4. Punch a hole in the top of the tag where the circle is, write a special note on the back and attach the gift tag to your wrapped gift with a ribbon or twine.
