Christmas is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited to spend it creating new family traditions and and sharing the season with loved ones. Today I’m going to share a super-quick tutorial showing how to make a rustic gift tag for your edible gifts. There’s even a free printable you can download!
You know when you’re in a mood to eat Christmas cookies, but you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen? Or perhaps you’re looking for a quick holiday gift for that special teacher, neighbor, friend, or service provider. I recently decorated some store-bought brownie bites with white icing (the tube kind with a star tip from the cake mix aisle) and sprinkles. They were so tasty and quick to put together.
Toss those cookies (no, not that kind of “toss”) into the ultra-convenient Rubbermaid TakeAlongs, and it’s an instant, thoughtful gift. And you won’t even have to break a sweat.
The next time you are at Walmart, look for the green and red Rubbermaid TakeAlongs for a perfect, no-fuss gift. Fill them with trail mix, cookies, candy, or other treats. The endcap display includes lots of sizes and shapes (squares, rectangles and bowls), and they are easy to use, with no spills! If you are lucky, you might even find the limited-edition holiday prints. Since I am making cookies to freeze, I was glad to know they are freezer safe!
Making the Rustic Holiday Gift Tags
1) To make the holiday gift tags, use scissors to trim one side of a paper grocery bag to the same size as your printer paper (8 1/2″ x 11″). Insert the new “paper” into your laser or inkjet printer.
2) Download the free Printable Gift Tags here! Print a test sheet on regular copy paper, and when you are ready, print out the sheet of four gift tags on your paper-bag paper.
3) Cut out a gift tag and poke a hole into the top and loop through a piece of ribbon or twine. Tie a piece of festive, wire ribbon around your Rubbermaid TakeAlongs container, and tie on the tag. Slip in a candy cane, and you’re done!
I’m planning to take some sweet treats to my son’s teachers this Christmas. I know this free printable gift tag will come in handy! For more great holiday inspiration, click here!

I never would have thought to use grocery bag paper in the printer. I love the natural look it provides!
Those tags are adorable! Gives it quite the vintage feel! {client}
