Stitch the applique on lightweight tear away stabilizer – one that tears clean. After removing from the hoop, use an awl or eyelet cutter to open the eyelet. Thread a pretty ribbon through the eyelet and you’re all set. Start making them now and the gifts under your tree will be beautiful!

    I love making tags for gifts. My favorite is to stitch them on felt but I’ve also been stitching on burlap with a bit of a raggy edge around the satin border.

    I have made several different types of gift tags and like to use a variety of different types of materials, including screen and faux leather.

    What a great and simple idea, thank you for posting. I liked Gail’s comment about using Faux leather, I have not embroidered on leather/faux leather, will you offer a blog about that soon? Happy Thanksgiving
