I love to make gift wrapping extra special. I truly believe that the gifts under your tree are just another from of Christmas Decorations. I like to coordinate all my my wrapping paper together as well as to the rest of my decorations. I also like to add little “happys” to the wrapping like mini ornaments tied on with a string for an extra little gift within a gift. This year I decided to make some special little gift name tags that could double as ornaments. The modeling clay you can buy in a craft store is so easy to work with as I have used it for many DIY projects like these Clay Ornaments or Herb Markers, so I knew I could use for this project as well. It’s a great way to add a personal touch to your gifts and provide a special keepsake fo your friends and family.

Supplies for Clay Gift Tags:

  • Modeling Clay
  • Rubber Letter Stamps
  • Rolling Pin
  • String
  • Paint (if desired) – You can totally leave these unpainted, but I wanted mine to be really white. You can paint them whatever color goes with your wrapping paper.
  • Paintbrush
  • Pen or Paint – I got a tiny brush and painted the words with gold. This is also totally unnecessary, but I wanted my names to stand out a bit.
