Terrific 'Tie-Dyed' Gift Tags

Why

Make your gifts stand out for any holiday! Use festive Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ art to make gift tags.

Steps

1. Decorate several papers with your Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™. Follow the directions on the package. For best results, draw a color-reveal marker design first, and then spin with solution to reveal the bright colors. Air-dry your spin art.

2. On the back of your decorated papers, draw birthday, welcome home, or any holiday shapes with a Crayola Colored Pencil. Cookie cutters are great to trace around. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out the shapes.

3. Use the Color Explosion color-reveal markers and Crayola Glitter Glue to add designs, words, or other embellishments to the front of the tag. Air-dry.

4. Use Crayola Markers to personalize the back of your gift tag. Punch a hole in your gift tag. Tie with ribbon to the gift. Your dramatic gift tag will be sure to catch everyone’s eyes!

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Color Explosion Spinner®— WARNING: People who are photosensitive (have had seizures induced by flashing lights and patterns) should not use this toy without first consulting a doctor. There is a possibility that photosensitivity may occur in children who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy.

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Color Explosion™ Black—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

Where & When

"We created gift tags as ornaments for the toy drive on our parish tree. Each tag was a different holiday shape and listed a gift for a child in need. Parish members could then select a tag, purchase the gift, and return it with the tag attached."
Scott B., church volunteer.

"My children and I created personalized tags for all our holiday gifts. We really enjoyed a fun family afternoon."
Michelle K., mother of ages 6 and 8.
