I know - it is really early to be talking about Christmas but I stocked up on more Paint colour cards in red and green colourways, and made some little festive tags.
These would make a fun kids craft. All you need is some paint cards, a christmas punch, a hole punch, and some ribbon. After punching the tree, I cut the top of the tag into a 45 degree angle, and used a corner punch to round the tip. I then punched a hole and threaded some ribbon, and now have a whole batch of tags ready for Christmas.

The paint manufacturers are going to wonder why they're suddenly having a run on their paint cards, but sales haven't increased LOL!

great idea - I am off to stock up now.
I raided Bunnings on the weekend - I felt a little naughty - but what the heck - most people take them then chuck them away - lets say that I am doing some salemanship for them - He He!!
Oh, WOW - they're awesome. I was just near Bunnings in Balcatta today, I could have stocked up on supplies :)

Just found your blog. What great ideas! Hope you don't mind, but I've done a post on my blog recommending yours. Do you mind if i copy just one of your photos to give some colour to the post?
Fabulous ideas. I love these paint color cards, I collect these and use them for background colors on hand made greeting cards.
Always giving us gooood ideas! Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift tags!;)
Great ideas on your blog. I can use them with my class. Thank you. But tell me please, what is Mod Plodge and where do you get it?
My word verification for this commet was 'snonging'. What a delightful word.
What a clever and lovely idea!
More great ideas girls......
Just found your blog, recommended by a fellow blogger. Its awesome, and so many new and great ideas. Thanks.
Why didn't I think of that?! I bought three rolls of Christmas paper (two on clearance last year, and one from my nephew's school fund raiser). I think I'll take snippets of them with me to match colors!
Oh! Or you could color code them for each member of your family! The possibilities are endless!
Really cute idea!
love these tags as well. what a fun project!
those are so clever! I love them!
You have such wonderful ideas..thanks for sharing.

Thank you for visiting my humble blog. Please come again.

Sweet Wishes,

How adorable - I always love looking at paint chips and imagining all the things I could paint. Now I have one more reason to go by that department....
Hey where can I get that tablecloth? or fabric? it looks really cool! :P thanks!
