Do you have kids who like to snoop and guess what their Christmas gifts are? Well I have a solution for you today. You’ll learn how to make Pull Tab Christmas Gift Tags with your Cricut that will keep who the gift is for hidden until Christmas Day.

And hiding the names behind a pull tab gift tag adds another element of fun to gift opening time. The kids get to pull back the tabs and pass the gift to the correct recipient. And if someone pulls back the tab early, you’ll know they’re peeking!

Best of all pull-tab gift tags are super quick and easy to make with your Cricut. You’ll have a whole batch cut in no time. And I have free SVG files for you to use so you can just upload to Design Space and go.

There are three designs available for you to choose from. If you don’t want to use one of the designs you can ungroup and delete it. Duplicate the designs you do want to use up to how many you need to make. Everything else is ready to go, no adjustments are needed so you can click the make it button when you are ready.

Step Two: Cut the Cricut Christmas Gift Tags

If you have an Explore set your dial to cardstock if you have a Maker or Explore 3 choose cardstock from the list of materials.

Line your cardstock up on the top left corner of your light blue cut mat with the design side up.

Insert the cardstock under the white tabs of your Cricut machine and press the load mat button. When the ‘C’ button starts flashing press it and Cricut will begin to cut the design.

After Cricut is done cutting flip your mat over and gently bend it back to get the gift tags to pop off the mat. This helps keep your gift tags from ripping or curling up after you remove them.

Step 3 Assemble Your Gift Tags

Fold the gift tags in half. the cut file includes perforations to make it easier to fold. Next, take a pencil and make two little marks on either side of the pull tab so you know where to write the name

Open the gift tag back up and right your recipient’s name on the inside in between the two marks you just made.

TIP: You can make them so one person all has the same design or mix them up. I’m doing three designs per person to keep them guessing. If you use this method because you know who the gift belongs to I recommend making a note on your phone so you don’t forget.

Once the names are written on the inside grab your craft glue and glue them together. Add glue to the side where the pull tab is and DO NOT glue in between the pull tab area or you won’t be able to open your gift tag.

After you have applied glue to one side fold your gift tag back together and press to make sure the glue sticks. You can add a piece of tape to the back of the gift tags to attach them to wrapped presents or you can thread a piece of twine through the hole on the top to tie to a gift bag.

When it’s finally time to open gifts pull back the tab of the gift tag to reveal who the gift is for.
