Choosing the perfect gift is just the beginning… ✨
I’ve already shared my favorite eco-friendly gift-wrapping ideas, but why stop there? Let’s make your presents unforgettable with personalized DIY gift tags that add meaning, beauty, and a zero-waste touch. 🎁🌿
Here are 8 DIY eco-friendly gift tag ideas to make your gifts extra special:
1️⃣ Seed Paper Tags
Write a message on plantable seed paper so the tag can grow into flowers or herbs. Use cookie cutters to shape them into hearts, trees, or stars.
2️⃣ Recycled Fabric Tags
Cut scraps of fabric into fun shapes, write your message with fabric paint, and tie them on with twine. Zero waste + super charming.
3️⃣ Mason Jar Lid Tags
Give old lids a new life! Write your message inside the lid and attach it with string for a rustic, vintage feel.
4️⃣ Salt Dough Tags
A family favorite! These also make beautiful Christmas ornaments. (Check out the salt dough video tutorial in my feed!) 🎄
5️⃣ Wood Slice Tags
Burn or handwrite your message on small wood slices for a cozy, Scandinavian-style touch.
6️⃣ Craft Paper + Dried Flowers
Simple, elegant, and sustainable. Add dried flowers to kraft paper tags for a truly stunning eco-friendly look.
7️⃣ Photo Tags
Print a photo on recycled paper and write a note on the back. A gift tag that becomes a keepsake. 📸❤️
8️⃣ Cardboard Tags
Upcycle any cardboard by cutting out simple shapes (or use cookie cutters!). Decorate with paint, washi tape, or stamps.
These eco-friendly gift tag ideas are simple, beautiful, and budget-friendly — proof that sustainability and creativity go hand-in-hand.
Which one will you try this season?

My kids and I love painting and doing all kinds of arts and crafts. For years, I mostly have been using Natural Earth Paint because it contains only pure, natural earth and mineral pigments, and organic ingredients without any preservatives, heavy metals, solvents, synthetics and fillers.

✨ LIVE on IG 12/9 at 12PM PST! ✨ Join Helga and I for a heartwarming chat about the new children’s book Adventures with Granny by @hr_conklin_author
Hazel loves her visits with Granny, but a sleepover without her parents feels a little too big. With butterflies fluttering in her tummy, she’s torn — stay home where it’s safe, or join Granny and her fearless little brother Finn on all the adventures waiting for them? Even a unicorn surprise can’t chase the jitters away.
Tune in to hear how this relatable, magical story unfolds and why it’s perfect for little ones navigating courage, comfort, and big feelings.
