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.

    The thing I love the very, very, very best about these is that not only do they look SWEET, you don’t have to weave in the ends!

    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.
