This beginner-friendly project is perfect for anyone looking to add a creative touch to their holiday gifts. The best part? No advanced crafting skills necessary! You'll work with a combination of colored cardstock and a cutting machine (or scissors for a more hands-on approach) to create the intricate layers of the Christmas tree design. It's a simple yet satisfying project that packs a fun, festive punch! If you need more  gift-wrapping tips and tricks this upcoming season, make sure to watch my video.

What makes this project truly special is the layered effect of the papercut design. By stacking different colored layers of cardstock, you'll create a textured, three-dimensional look that brings depth and interest to each tag. The crisp edges of the cut-out tree shape contrast beautifully with the colorful background, giving it a modern and festive touch. Plus, the design is customizable — choose your favorite holiday colors to match your wrapping paper or get creative with fun patterns.

Once you've finished your Papercut Layered Christmas Tree Gift Tags, you'll have the perfect addition to any gift, large or small. These tags can be attached to everything from simple presents to special homemade treats, making them versatile for all your holiday gifts. We can't wait to see how you use your tags this season — so be sure to share your beautiful creations on Instagram using the hashtag #MadeWithLia and join our crafting community for even more inspiration. Happy crafting and happy holidays!
