Printing Christmas Gift Tags
You can definitely just print the PDF that comes with these gift tags and cut them by hand. Read on to learn more about using a Cricut machine if you have one. If you don’t, then just print onto cardstock and trim the tags to size using a paper cutter. I have convenient cut lines on the printable so you can use those as a guide. Then just punch a hole in the top of the tag for attaching to your presents. You can also just tape them on if you prefer.

How to Make Gift Tags with a Cricut
Want to put the print then cut function of your Cricut to use? Let’s use it to make some holiday gift tags that you are going to love.
Supplies needed:
- Printable tag file
- White cardstock
- Cricut machine (you will need an Explore or Maker series for this project)
- Printer
Cricut Gift Tags
Upload the PNG file to your Cricut machine. You can see more about working with zip files here and uploading on various devices here. Once uploaded, add a rectangle over the tag you want to print.
Pick both the gift tags and the rectangle and click slice. Then delete off everything except for the tag image. Repeat for as many of the tag designs as you want to print. Resize the designs as needed to fit a tag.
Then add tag shapes to your canvas. You can find several in Cricut Design Space or even get a free SVG and upload that. Be sure to size these to fit the gifts that you are wrapping. You will also want to make the tags white or even the color of your choice.
My version did not have a hole so I added a circle to each tag. Then pick the tag and the circle and click slice. Delete off all extra shapes and you are left with a tag that has a circle cut out.
Put the printable graphic over the tag then pick both and click flatten. This will make the entire thing a printable tag and the Cricut will only cut around the outside of the tag.
Then just click make it to see your tags on the mat. You can click continue from here and print the tags.
Print the sheet and follow the screen prompts to cut them with your Cricut machine. You can see more about print then cut here if you need more information. You can even print these on sticker paper so you don’t have to use a ribbon at all!
Once you have your gift tags complete, you can add them to any gift for a festive touch. Now that you know how to make gift tags with a Cricut, you can use this same technique for any occasion or holiday. Just find images that will print well and add them to gift tag shapes.
The print then cut function may become your favorite part of Cricut crafting. After all, you can make gift tags and so much more! So, use this guide and make your own Cricut gift tags today!
