Here are some gift tags I made from a pretty Kleenex box I had. The box was just so cute that I wanted to recycled the cardboard into something useful so I got out my tag die cutter. I cut as many tags as I could from the panels of the box and then used a hole punch to put a hole into the top of the tags. I used scrap yarn and some leather strips for ties to finish off my gift tags.
Here is one other set of gift tags I cut from another Kleenex box. The bottom had some plain white so I cut out a few of those to show you that with some pretty yarn, they make great gift tags too. For the other tags, I used pieces of plarn (plastic bag yarn) for my ties.
This is a really quick and easy project that you and the kids can both enjoy. Let the kids cut strips of yarn or other recycled materials for the ties and voilà — you have yourself some cute and free gift tags.
Those are really pretty!
What a great idea, thanks for sharing!
How clever! Good thing I just went around the house the other day and collected four empty kleenex boxes and put them in the recycling bin!
You are so inventive! Thanks for the idea!
That is a neat idea. Did you use a punch? What size are the tags? Just think when the xmas boxes come out… Christmas tags.

I used a Marvy Uchida punch that I bought at Michaels. The tags are 1-7/8″ wide by 2-3/4″ long. I used a hole punch to put the top hole in the tag.
I love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing it. I have kids coming to visit every summer and this is a project as well as the Altoids pin cushion one that we can do on a rainy day. Hope you have great summer. 🙂
Another great project, I love this one. This is perfect for Christmas, I use to make gift tags and I never thought about this Kleenex box.
