Gift Tags in Counted Cross Stitch

Making a greetings card is always a  way of helping someone to celebrate their special occasion.  To add to that you can always make a matching gift tag.  Take a small motif from the design you have stitched for the card and make it into a gift tag.  Small motifs are very quick to stitch.  Even if you haven’t the time to stitch a card a gift tag is just as good.

A gift tag attached to a present just adds that finishing touch to make the gift that little bit more special.

What will you need?

1 A gift tag which could be a purchased one or a piece of card.

2 Completed small motif in cross stitch.

3 Double sided tape for attaching the design to the card.

4 Ribbon to attach the gift tag to the present.

5 Pinking shears these will give a decorative edge to your stitching.

This is just another quick and simple way of using left over threads and fabric in cross stitch.
