This is a fun holiday project shared by my friend Jen Goode of JGoodeDesigns!  Her passion is penguins, and she’s designed a fun gift tag project featuring penguins as the star!  This project will require color copies of the PDF she’s designed, which can be downloaded here.  Here’s the finished product!

Materials Needed:

• Printed PDFs (on a thicker card stock paper)
• Scissors
• Glue
• Hole Punch
• Ribbon

Directions:

1. Use a thick paper like card stock or construction paper to print the PDF out.  Either print enough copies for all the girls in your troop (plus extras in case of mistakes), or have color copies run on thick paper at a local copy shop.
2. Use decorative scissors to add a fun edge to the tags, or be creative with regular scissors.
3. Cut out the penguin squares.
4. Glue onto snowflake paper pattern.
5. Cut squares again, leaving a fun border.
6. Punch a hole in the corner.
7. Add ribbon.
8. Write To: and From: on the back.

Safety Tips!

1. Use non-toxic glue.
2. Depending on the age of your girls, be sure to supervise their use of the scissors and hole punch.

This is a perfect gift for the girls to make several and take home.  Or, if you are planning a holiday gift exchange within the troop, the girls can make these tags just for those gifts.  You can pair this project with making your own wrapping paper, as well!
