Hi guys! I LOVE giving gifts. Picking out and wrapping up weird, romantic or sentimental gifts for the people I love is one of my favorite things to do. I have so much fun filling up that tree! With that said, I'm not that great at wrapping gifts. I'm messy. I'm not a perfectionist. I can't wrap a picture perfect gift to save my life. Instead, I gravitate toward fun, easy-going wrapping solutions with a handmade touch!
Today we want to share fun and easy way to make personalized gift tags for the holidays. Use your favorite Instagram memories from the year to create these quirky little tags! Since we'll be doing some quick-and-easy photo printing for this project, it felt like another great fit for our Canon USA collaboration.Step One: Use a photo app like #ABeautifulMess to add 'To:' and 'From:' to your favorite cell phone photos. Use photos that naturally have some white space or use your app to create white areas for writing before you add the words.
Step Two: Print your tags at home using label or sticker paper. You can find it at any office supply store! We printed ours on Canon's MG7120. It's our go-to for the fun, smaller projects.
Step Three: Trim your labels and get ready to have fun wrapping gifts. It's that easy!!
I also used wine corks to stamp my kraft wrapping paper with a little white acrylic paint. This year I've been decorating my plain craft and white wrapping paper with paint and sharpies.
Our tree is already beginning to fill with gifts. I can't wait for our family and friends to see these cute little tags we printed with the pups photos. It's getting REAL festive around here. Cheers to messy, personal, happy gift wrap! xo. Elsie

Thank You So Much for this awesome sharing! Exited to try this Tonight
I am going to try this today!
I love the look of Kraft paper and have been using it for my wrapping this year. Unfortunately, I have been having a hard time getting tape to stick to it. I’ve tried regular Scotch tape, packing tape, and masking tape. Any suggestions?
Just printed mine! They look super cute!
Thanks for the inspiration yet again!!!
I just made my Christmas Gift tags using this idea. PERFECT way to personalize for each person too 🙂 Love it so much! Thank yoU!
I’d love to know how you made your braided yarn ribbon. I’m trying to figure it out with 2 colors and can’t get it!
I love this idea! And was so excited to do this for Xmas! BUT I’m so confused: how do you make the white boxes where you’ll right someone’s name using the ABM app? Thanks!
Hi! It’s in the “geometric doodles” pack in the A Beautiful Mess app.
Thanks for asking! Elsie

Use two fingers to make the text smaller in the app.

I used photoshop to put all the images on one page to print!

Thanks Les! Currently (at my house) the printers don’t have a permanent home so we are always moving them around! In the new space I’ll be sure to share the new storage solutions we have planned! Good question!
