DIY Tags for Handmade Gifts or Weddings Favors, or even handmade products you sell! I used stamped sayings and a matching tag die set with Xyron adhesive. Let me show you how easy this is to put together!

DIY Tags for Handmade Gifts or Weddings Favors, or even handmade products you sell!

Our Xyron Design Team is having fun this week crafting with awesome products from Newton’s Nook Designs!

Newton's Nook and Xyron blog hop 2017

There’s also a wonderful giveaway — more info at the end of this post!

Newton’s Nook has whimsical photopolymer stamps and dies, all original designs! Their products are made here in the United States.

They have stamps and dies for holidays, seasons, sentiments, animals, birthdays, celebrations and more. And make sure to check out the stamps inspired by their orange tabby cat — and company namesake — Newton!

FTC Disclaimer: I’ve received products/compensation as part of the Xyron Design Team. These DIY tags, however, are 100% my own project! Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. I explain more here.

I received stamps and dies to make tags for handmade gifts!

Newtons Nook Tags for handmade products, gifts or favors

These are perfect if you’re a crafter or make handmade products to sell.

I also think these stamps and dies are perfect for wedding favor tags too!

DIY Tags for Handmade Gifts or Favors

Supplies:

  • Xyron® Mega Runner
  • Newton’s Nook Tag Sampler Stamps
  • Newton’s Nook “Tags Times Two” Die Set
  • Diecut machine (I used my Sizzix Big Shot)
  • Decorative cardstock in coordinating colors and patterns
  • Black permanent ink pad
  • Acrylic stamping block
  • Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
  • Darice Bright Hemp Cord Set

Tutorial:

Step One: Stamp your chosen images from the Newton’s Nook Tag Sampler Stamps onto decorative cardstock.

Step Two: Using the Newton’s Nook “Tags Times Two” die set and your preferred cutting machine, cut out your stamped images.

Step Three: Using the same Newton’s Nook dies, cut out more tags from decorative cardstock. (These will be used as the backs of your stamped tags.)

Step Four: Add adhesive to the back of the tags with the Xyron Mega Runner.

Apply adhesive to the back of one of the two tags you will stick together . . .

. . . and then carefully match the tags up (decorative sides facing out) and press together!

Repeat this for all of your stamped tags!

Step Five: Color some of the stamped tags using alcohol markers.

I also used the small circle tag die to cut out several small tags.

You can see (below) that the smallest stamped images fit nicely on these circle tags.

I used elegant flocked cardstock (below) to make more tags in both sizes.

I repeated the steps above to adhere these tags to each other.

Wouldn’t these be stunning as wedding favor tags?
