I’m happy to share a nifty recycling hack that not only saves money but also lends a helping hand to Mother Nature. If you’re like me and have a stash of leftover cardstock from your card-making escapades, this one’s for you! Let’s talk about turning those odds and ends into charming and eco-friendly gift tags.

Versatile and Customizable:
The beauty of making your own gift tags from recycled cardstock is the freedom to customize them to suit any occasion. Birthdays, Christmas, weddings – you name it!

Final Thoughts
Recycling leftover cardstock into delightful gift tags isn’t just a crafty endeavour; it’s a thoughtful way to reduce waste and add a unique touch to your presents. Embracing this eco-friendly approach not only benefits the environment but also your pocket!
I look to do them in batches and have them on hand whenever I need them. Sometimes if I have creative block, doing something relatively straight forward like this can help get the creative juices flowing again!
