Papercut Golden Desert Gift Tags
Fan-Cactus Holiday
When it comes to giftwrapping, it’s often the smallest details that bring the most magic. In keeping with this month’s Western-themed holiday, our Papercut Golden Desert Gift Tags add that little extra something. Inspired by vintage gold and copper metal ornaments, these tags shimmer beautifully under twinkle lights and bring a touch of modern Western elegance to your seasonal wrapping. Because they’re simple, stylish, and incredibly fun to make, they’re the perfect beginner-friendly project to round out your festive crafting.

All you need to create these Papercut Golden Desert Gift Tags is a cutting machine and two shades of our gold craft paper. Once you load the designs, you’ll have an assortment of delicate desert silhouettes ready to embellish your gifts. The collection includes a sweet desert hare, a howling coyote, a quail, a pair of classic cacti, and even a tiny cowboy boot — each one capturing a bit of the golden desert glow that inspired this set. Their crisp, papercut lines mimic the look of metal ornaments without the tools or forging, keeping things wonderfully simple.
Though designed as gift tags, these Golden Desert Gift Tags would be just as lovely as ornaments, table-setting accents, garland pieces, or even party favors. You can mix and match, layer them, or string them together for a gleaming Western moment in your holiday décor.
These tags also pair beautifully with the other Western-themed projects in this month’s collection. Try styling them alongside the Felt Cowboy Boot Stocking, our Cardstock Rocking Horse Ornament, the Felt Hobby Horse, or the Crepe Paper Christmas Cactus Member Make project. Together, they create a cohesive holiday theme filled with whimsy, warmth, and wild desert spirit.
When your Golden Desert Gift Tags are finished and ready to shine, we’d love to see how you use them! Share your creations using the hashtag #MadeWithLia on social media, and don’t forget to post in our crafters’ community!
