Whew!!! I don’t know about you but I’m kinda sad it’s day 12! I’ve had so much fun with this series and am most grateful for the wonderful contributors who have given of their time and ideas to make it all happen! Let’s recap:
On the 12th day of Christmas, my blog friend gave to meand a dishmat made by Dar-by!
The following is a pic-tutorial of how to create your own labels in Microsoft Word.
A few words to the wise:
1. Print on plain paper first
2. Use solid sheets of “label paper” {so they will be stickers–that you can cut out in your desired shape}. Be sure you get ink jet paper for an ink jet printer or laser paper for a laser printer.
3. Make your margins smaller so you can squeeze more on a page
And just to prove to you that you can do it, look what I made yesterday! Thanks so much Darby for your endless inspiration!
Note: For all you who are considering bifocals {like me} here’s the link to the post on Darby’s blog. You can click on her pictures to enlarge them! You’re welcome.
How cute – I just love those!!
Oh, I can see myself doing this! So cute!
Thank you sooooo much for all the great ideas this month. This is the month when I needed them to begin making my plans…for a much better organized and pleasant Christmas. And I really, really would like the necklace. 🙂 I really, really need that reminder. Bless you, Edie!
Perfect! What a classy look! I love everything monogrammed, and this is just fab. Thanks Darby!
I REALLY love these-My husband makes a homemade salad dressing he wants to make people for Christmas…I told him I would figure out a cute label…and now I CAN!
Thank you, this was GREAT, and me-techno challenged will give it a try!
I have already made 4 tassels and hope to make 4 aprons next week. Thanks SO much for the ideas. These labels will be so cute for our presents!
Well, I just found your blog, so now I have to spend the rest of my day going over the last 12 days! 🙂
Looks like lots of great ideas!!
Life in grace is the only way to live!
Since I don't know how to sew this is one of the things I actually CAN make! 🙂 Adorable!
How do yo do it if you have a mac? I love those tags and would like to try my hand at them. Not sure if there is a way on a mac computer.
What a great idea!
I don’t want the 12 days of Christmas to be over. I love looking everyday to see what goodies I can recreate. So far I’ve done the coasters, tassels, I bought a shirt yesterday to make apron, and have plans to make a batch of fudge for my Christmas goodies gift basket…..so much fun!!! It’s like saying good buy to your favorite TV show (for me it was Friends) or finishing a good book (Twilight). So much fun you just want it to go on forever.
Thanks Edie for organizing all of this :0)

Those are cute and will make the perfect finishing touch on Christmas gifts this year. Thanks for all the 12 days, I really enjoyed them all. Thanks for the chance to win the necklace!
i hate to even ask this, but are these to be cut out by hand? i cannot imagine having a steady enough hand to pull that off! is that what everyone is doing though?
I discovered Darby's blog when I started mine. My boyfriend's girlfriend and I love everything she has posted. I saw this on her site as well, and I plan to do these for my Christmas gifts, too! I've loved the 12 days of Handmade Christmas. Too bad it's over! If it weren't for Darby's blog, I would have never discovered yours. I look forward to seeing more of your blog in the future!
those seem super easy and a frugal way of making gift tags! love the 12 days of christmas tutorials!!
I love these labels and have really enjoyed the 12 days of homemade Christmas,, i'm gonna try some of them for sure. I'm practicing the labels right now.. Thanks so much for hosting this!
I also saw these on Darby's blog and made some. She is so awesome and I love her blog. I have had so much fun waking up every morning to these little surprises. I think I will really miss this series. So far I have made 3 little fabric birds, ragamuffin garland, and the Christmas tags. I plan on making the fudge recipe closer to Christmas. Thank you so much Edie and your friends for all the inspiration.
I found your blog on the day 2 of the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas and I truly enjoyed all of the tutorials. I just practiced the labels…what fun! I have started my ragamuffin garland. Thank you for hosting this, I will miss it.
Made these…wonderful. Course, Darby's blog is my favorite and everything she DOES is wonderful!!
In answer to CCB, I tried cutting them out by hand but mine didn't look good. I bought the circle cutter at Michael's with the 40% off coupon….works great!
This is fantastic! I will definitely be trying this out!
Thanks for sharing.

P.S. Edie, this whole series has been fantastic!! Thank you so much for putting it together.
Sis, I have enjoyed all the fun things to craft and make. My favorite is the candles and the tags. Both of which, I can do!! No sewing required. I am thinking of making cute candles putting them in cellophane bags with the cute labels. I must get to work. Thanks for doing the tutorials. What fun they have been!!
I love those gift tags! They are adorable. Thank yo for all fo the wonderful ideas this month. I really appreciate the opportunity at the necklace! I am a big fan of your blog! Thanks again!
Very cool idea! Thanks for doing this series, it's been lots o' fun!!
Dear Carol,
I made mine using a MAC and it was a bit different—just because the set up of the Word program is different–but I was able to follow it nonetheless and the labels turned out great. To start the process, make sure you formatting palette is showing (check it under 'view') and then you should be able to find how to add an object.
Thanks girls for letting me know all the stuff you've tried. I can't wait to try more of them myself!
Thanks for these 12 days! You've given me lots of good ideas to work on for Christmas…and a song to hum while working:)
This is the neatest idea. Your instructions were perfect! Thanks so much!
These are really fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial!
This was so much fun! Thanks!
I am gonna do this one!
This was so much fun! Thanks!
I am so excited to see this tutorial, I think Day 12 is my favorite! 🙂 I've been wanting to make custom tags for packages this year, but didn't want to spend much, these will be perfect!
I love it! Can't wait to give it a go, myself.
There are great! I usually spend a lot of time trying to find tags that match each year's wrapping perfectly, and now I don't have to–I can make my own!
I DID IT…wooHoo!!!! Thanks for the tutorials…there were a couple of places where I wasn't sure what to do, but I figured it out and now I have a cool label…thanks! I have never done anything like that before….
Thanks also for the fun 12 days of Christmas posts…I am hoping to try a few new things~ I only wish it were the 25 days of Christmas!
Very Fun!
C~
Can I tell you how much I love your 12 Days of Handmade??? SUCH great ideas…now I just need to start making some. 🙂
The 12 Days of Handmade Christmas have been delightful. I have wonderful gifts planned for many on my list thanks to these super ideas!
Thanks so much for sharing them.
Thanks for the necklace giveaway too!
Do you even KNOW how badly I want this necklace? I know it's not on here yet, but it needs to be mine. NEEDS. My whole life is grace. Nothing but grace. God's amazing grace that I live in daily. It also happens to be my middle name… that I used to hate… and now am so thankful for. There's more of a story here, but I'll stop rambling. (I'm SO going to try these tags!!!)
I'm SO excited to make some of these ideas for Christmas!! So glad my friend sent me this blog address!!!
Happy Holidays!!
darby is a big fav of mine (and you are too!)… i've loved the past 12 days- thanks so much for doing this for your blog stalkers!!!

Thank you wonderful blog friend for all the cool ideas! I wish it were a whole month of them because, they are all so awesome, I am sad they are ending! Have a blessed holiday and just enjoy every moment!
I really enjoyed the 12 Days series. The sweater Christmas stockings are my very favorite. I'm excited to try this.
AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for sharing how to do this!
Thanks for all the great ideas! I'm sure I'll use this one to create tags for all my Christmas food gifts! I just put up my caramel cake tutorial on my blog if you are interested. Consider it a "thank-you" for all your great ideas!
I have loved this series! Thank you and your guests for all the neat ideas.
I am so VERY thankful for this tutorial!! You have no idea how much this helps me with making tags for my craft sale coming up n Dec. Yeah!!!!!!!
So glad you posted this. I had seen it on Darby's site by way of her sister's site but could never find it again. Too cute. Thanks. Love your site and that kitchen of yours. I think it would make me a better cook! Cindy F.
This is such a great tutorial. I am so glad to see this. The tags are great and I wouldn't know where to begin on my own.
Ruth
Thanks for putting this up. I saw it on Darby's site by way of her sister's site but I could never find it again. Love it. Thanks. I also love your site and that kitchen of yours. I think it would make me a better cook. Cindy F.
I This has been so much fun! CAn we do it again? We made these last year after we saw Darby's for bday parties, baby gift too! SO fun!
Wonderful!
I've absolutely loved these ideas, the nametags and all of the past days. I can't wait to get started on my pillows this weekend!
Terrific idea for Christmas gifts! Can't wait to try it out.
Thanks again for hosting such a wonderful party, and also for inviting me to do a tut for you. I loved every.single.thing. Hugs!
I made these round stickers last year after seeing it on Darby's blog. I use them year around now and love them! Thanks for reminding me to make again for this holiday season.
I loved the 12 days! Great ideas. I looked forward to stopping by each day for a little creative inspiration. I wish this series would continue. How about another 12 days? 🙂
OOOH!!! pick me! Pick me! Pick me!!!!
So cute! Gotta make me some!
Rachelle
Thank you for sharing this idea. I give away a lot of canned goodies for Christmas and these will look wonderful on top. Thank you for all the other great ideas as well. I am using several of them. Blessings to you and your family.
Super cute gift tags idea and what an adorable necklace giveaway!
What a great series this has been! Projects that I can actually make…not being very handy/crafty.
I'm really enjoying your blog and the message you radiate!
Would love to win the necklace as a reminder to myself.
Thanks for the great ideas and your worthwhile blog!
Nancy
Great idea. Thank you for sharing this info with us.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing this info.
Great tut! Thanks so much for all of the ideas and instructions
What a beautiful necklace and I love the sticker ideas! dbhowellfamily at gmail dot com
have loved the past 12 days such – fun things to make! I love these tags! I've recently discovered the world of blogging (where have I been???) and I really enjoy your blog Edie – very inspiring! Would be thrilled to win the necklace!
Finally…a craft I can do!!! Which translates to "a craft that does not require sewing." 🙂
One question….when I copy, should it copy everything in my circle, or just the circle?
I hope I am not too late, but even if I am…ant to say what a BEAUTIFUL necklace that is <3
Edie,
I have a stupid question – so did you buy sheets of paper that are sticky when you peel of the back. Maybe I missed that in the past, but not for sure what type of paper/labels to use. I am sooo excited to try this out!!!
Wow a giveaway sure brings the people to the surface! It's been a fun week! So far I've made the garland. Love it! And I already made a bunch of coffee sleeves. Ofcourse birds flock here and well it has been fun! Would love the necklace!
Love the tags, thanks again!!
Thanks so much for this series, I've LOVED all of it!!!
Oh, I love those tags! And the necklace is pretty snazzy too! 😉
Edie–I just stumbled upon your blog last week, and I LOVE it!
The necklace is BEAUTIFUL!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 days of handmade Christmas!!! Thanks so much!!!

Love the tags – I'm off to try it out!! Thanks! The necklace would make the perfect gift for a friend of mine!!!
I love them! I'm so making some of my own labels for gifts. Packaging is half the fun of a gift…I think anyways. 🙂 Been an awesome 12 days! Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
I've enjoyed the 12 days so much. Thanks so much for all that you put into coordinating it!
I love the tags and the easy explanation! Can't wait to try them out!!
Thank you so much for taking the time for these tutorials… they have been great! I am hoping within the next few weeks to make some time to do some of them! 🙂
love the stickers. great and easy idea
I too am sad that it is day 12. I have anticipated each day what the project might be and looked forward to them. Now I have got to get busy! I would love to win the necklace and will definitely be checking out the etsy shop. Jackie
Love this… I can't wait to get started!
Edie- I am so appreciative of the tutorials for Christmas! I am enjoying everyday…. The necklace is beautiful, "me likey"… 🙂
lovely tutorials. and have a lovely weekend as well.
Thank you for sharing all the wonderful gift ideas. They were all great!
I hate that the 12days are over too! I've so enjoyed it, gotten lots of ideas & found a few new blogs to follow (oh where will I find the time to do it all).
Thanks again, I always enjoy my stops at "your place"
this has been such a fabulous series! thanks much!
What a beautiful necklace.
I'm enjoying this series a ton! Thanks for all of the great ideas. :>)
I have really enjoyed all 12 days. Now, if I could just pack a few more hours into the day I'd have all of the projects done BEFORE Christmas comes! The give-a-way today is beautiful! I'd love to win! (I know, I know, Who wouldn't?)
I am loving every single one of these things! I am a recent reader of your blog and really enjoying it. Thanks so much! -Candace E.
Lovin' the tags!! Hope I will make some of my own. Lots of good ideas the past 12 days! email if i win: louann.rudd@gmail.com Thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial. I think I'm going to try it.
Love the necklace too but what's not to love.
thank you for all the wonderful projects you shared….so much fun. I love these little tags so much. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving..may it overflow with His grace.
Cool, cool! Thanks Darby! Do you have any idea how expensive custom made stickers are! I tried to find cheap ones for my wedding…no luck. All along I could of just made them!
So cute! And I love that necklace too.
I'd love to win! Also, I have loved the 12 days of Christmas posts…thanks for all your work in putting those together!! 🙂
I've always wanted to know how to do this! Thanks!
This was a great tutorial, especially for those of us who are "computer challenged." Thanks!
This takes the cake! What a great finale. It worked just fine on my mac when I tried it. Thanks for all the great ideas and directions!
I saw these labels on Darby's blog a while back too! I made a couple of designs following her directions and they are soooooo easy and cute!!!
I have loved all your 12 days of handmade Christmas so much, Edie! They are all amazing!
And I made these last year from Darby's blog and have to tell you I'm addicted. I made some for Halloween, Valentine's and might possibly have made them for any other teacher gift occasion. They are SO easy and adorable!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm on my way to Wal-mart for the paper to make these right now!!! Love the idea 🙂
Amy
I am sooo loving these handmade ideas! Please do this every year. A friend just gave me a bottle of homemade dish soap that smells just like pine (but not like pinesol). It's wonderful and has me getting into the Christmas mood every time I do dishes (that's a lot!). I got the "recipe" and would love to share that for next year! Jennifer 🙂
I have loved this series! Thanks so much for doing this for all of us 🙂
I've really enjoyed this series and thought it such a good idea to begin with! I hope this is the first of many. Thanks for hosting it and thanks to all your contributors.
I might be a little behind, but I just found your blog (thank you, Darby) and I love it. Thanks for sharing your creativity and thoughts. Nice to meet you!
The pendant is adorable. I've been so inspired by the 12 days, I'm almost finished with my own ragamuffin garland. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm so excited about all of the handmade gifts I'm making this year.
I have so enjoyed your 12 Days!! A friend and I went to a consignment store last night and bought sweaters (1/2 off!!) to make into stockings. Thank you for the great ideas and for this fabulous giveaway!!
I have been wanting to make these and it was so easy. Thanks for the idea. Wish I had the fonts you used.
Great tutorial.
Beautiful necklace!!
Great idea! I will miss the 12 Days tutorials, too, so I'm glad you'll be doing more!
sara
Very cool idea, and I still have time to do it! yeah!
Edie! I hope I'm not too late… just picked up my dad's laptop to check in. Love the necklace and the 12 days were wonderful and full of inspiration. Thank you for all the ideas!! Hope you and yours are enjoying the weekend. We're loving our time in Chicago and the weather is PERFECT!!
a.hundred.and.twenty.four.posts!?!? {can i have some, please?!} 🙂

These are awesome! Thanks!
I saw these on her blog! I am going to have to make them!
Hello there, You’ve done an excellent job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I am confident they will be benefited from this web site.
Great post however I was wondering if you could write a
litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Cheers!
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your article. I like to write a little comment to support
you.
Currently it appears like Drupal is the preferred
blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re
using on your blog?
I am starting up a online blog directory and was wondering if I can submit your blog?
I’m hoping to increase my directory gradually by hand so that it maintains good quality. I will make sure and put your website in the best category and I’ll also use, “12 Days of Handmade Christmas Tutorials Day 12 Christmas Tags” as your anchor text.
Make sure you let me know if this is okay with you by contacting me.
Many thanks
Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Hello There. I found your blog using msn.
This is a really well written article. I’ll be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I’ll certainly comeback.
you’re really a excellent webmaster. The web site loading speed is incredible. It kind of feels that you’re doing any distinctive trick.
Furthermore, The contents are masterwork. you have done a fantastic
task in this matter!
The on line setup is essentially three effortless actions.
Features a six-hour rechargeable battery and eight custom-tuned drivers.
These buttons are a very cool feature for the mouse,
so if you’ve never used a feature like this before, don’t be too intimidated not to try them out.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I
guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for first-time blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Thanks!
But that was all about to change the personality directly into an 8 figure online business empire offering teaching supplies to
affiliate marketers but also mentoring and high profile, expensive events.
Then click the photo that you want to expand their marketing knowledge.
Affiliates are essentially website owners who are willing to pay for keywords that you’re targeting.
I think the admin of this site is truly working hard in
support of his website, for the reason that here every stuff is quality based stuff.
Christian Sermons has come out many times that has confirmed the Holy Spirit has touched many other.
Christian Sermons are indeed a means to express at least
to an extent the ability of Jesus Christ.
Christian Sermons can convict you and practically force you to
come to terms with the ability of Jesus Christ.
Many Years ago I prayed and prayed for God to
show me the light, the way, and the path for my intention.
Enoch is an exceptional model of man that walked with
God and was taken or interpreted. Christian Sermons hopes
I’ve had and validated the response to a lot of prayers. Even though you love God you may very well (if definitely) still sin not but you can do the best you can to avoid temptations that lead to sin.
I come from the family that preaches the Gospel and Christian Sermons are a terrific way to spread the word of God. It’s
crystal clear for the Bible. Genuine Christian Sermons will always
confirm or validate this.
When you’re “in the money”, you might be given a established commission for ones expense. Sometimes it is actually better than business in the evening because of the strength connected with particular promotes. trading at night with binary options can be a favorite in addition to easy to use trading at night with binary options website that permits it is consumers to produce money by exchanging around the stay stock exchange. The important thing is always to diversify your current collection, make frequent additions to your pension system, rather than deviate through your financial plan of action.
I got this site from my friend who informed me on the topic
of this site and now this time I am visiting this website and
reading very informative articles at this time.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something
that I think I would never understand. It seems
too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking
forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
Asking questions are genuinely good thing if you are not
understanding something totally, except this piece of writing offers good understanding even.
