I have always been a sucker for a well-wrapped gift. If you are a long time reader you may remember me mentioning that my very first job was wrapping gifts during the holiday season at The Children’s Book Cottage. It was a darling mom and pop store that no longer is in business, but when I was only 10 I helped wrap all of the gifts. We celebrated Christmas with my brother-in-law and his wife early this year. My sister-in-law arrived with the cutest gifts. I had to copy her idea and make some puzzle piece gift tags this year.
All you need to make a puzzle piece gift tag are these cute craft pieces from Michael’s. Give them a coat of chalkboard spray paint and then kindly ask someone to drill a hole in them for you (that would be my hubby). If you are all about using the drill ( I really need to brush up on that skill) than it’s all you. I think these are fun for anytime of the year. Adds just that fun homemade touch. The ones in the package are larger than the one I used on the gift and I much prefer the bigger size. Guess that means I am making more!
I think I was really drawn to this idea because of the significance the puzzle piece to our family. I wrote about that here.
I looked on Pinterest and found this darling gift from Domestically Blissful. She chose not to put a hole through them and spayed an old puzzle.

My sister-in-law suggested going to the $1 store and buying one of those thick wooden puzzles. Great idea! Than they are sturdy and you really do get a lot for just $1.

Have a great day! Only 8 more days until Christmas. Can you believe it?!
How neat! Surely never thought of a puzzle piece as gift tag. Another brilliant idea from you. Thanks for sharing. Love that ribbon too!
I loved it when I saw it, too. Fun and different. I think I picked up the ribbon at Michaels or Hobby Lobby last year. Always stripes over here. xo Have a great day.
I love your Puzzle Piece Gift tags & your presents are so beautifully wrapped!
I am probably the worst present wrapper ever! I’m so bad at it my husband did all of our present wrapping this year & I just handed him the strips of tape. 🙂
I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Oh that cracks me up. Well listen . . . one less thing you need to do! I say that’s great and bravo to the hubby.
What a great idea! I love that there are many ways that you could create this little tag, too.
What a fun idea, esp. as the gift receiver can reuse the tag as they gift-it-forward! Visiting from Inspiration Galore party.
I love this. I am going to have to do this this year. Hope you join us at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party this week http://thinking-outside-the-pot.com/?p=3142
