You can now recycle those beautiful and very hard to throw away greeting cards that you have been saving and storing away in a variety of ways. For this project we show you how to create a unique and eye catching gift tag that would normally cost a few dollars if purchased in most stores, and make those plain tags that are store bought seem dull by comparison.

Step one: For this project you will beusing craft scissors to carefully cut out the front section of the greeting card you have chosen.
Step two: Next, using a hole puncher, punch out a hole, 1/2 inch from the top of what will soon be your custom gift tag.
Step three: Now thread a pretty ribbon or decorative string through the hole creating a bow. Try using a multi-colored ribbon that will coordinate with the colors of your gift wrapped package.
That is all there is to creating a simple and quick one of a kind custom gift tag.
