Quick Crochet Gift Tags

November 26, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 29 Comments

I crocheted up a batch of small granny squares using  DMC Perle 5 in red and white, et voilà the Quick Crocheted Gift Tag was born.

These would also work well in other colours – I can just visualise them in some pastel hues for Easter.

    So cool. You could paint them with Stiff Stuff (a fabric/wool stiffener) and then use them as tree decorations too! They are so sweet.

    Those are really sweet. I love red and white – such a fresh combination. And yes, done in Easter colors they would be pretty too.

    Love these! Did you sew them onto the tags or adhere them with something else?

      Hi Tara

      I used a small dot of glue in each corner to adhere them to the tag. You could stitch them on. They were a fun way to use up those small scraps of yarn.
