Easy Peasy Assembly
- Download the templates you want to use
- Print as many as you need (for personal use). I recommend printing on white cardstock
- Cut out along the solid lines
- Use a craft knife to make an incision across the dotted lines
- Insert pencils, markers, highlighters, crayons, etc and you’re all set!
Depending on the writing utensils and quantity you use, you may need to secure them on the back with tape, or adjust the length of the incisions you make to accommodate larger/smaller items

Get the Look:
If you’re looking for recommendations on paper and supplies, I’ve included a list below of the supplies I used to create these sample photos.
- 110# white cardstock for printing
- Scissors or a paper trimmer like this for cutting
- Craft Knife for making incisions
I’ve done some pencil and marker shopping and found several options that work well with these gift tags. If you are using markers or highlighters, I’d recommend sticking with the slim varieties so you can fit 2-4 in each tag. Here’s what I’ve used in the past for these:
Item | Count |
Sharpie Highlighters | 36 |
Ticonderoga Pencils | 72 |
Crayola Felt Pens | 120 |
Rainbow Pencils (I love these!) | 60 |
Crayola Colored Pencils | 50 |
Printing Tips:
To get the size just right on these, be sure to select “Actual Size” in your print settings, otherwise they may print out slightly smaller.

Did you know I sell stuff too?
I specialize in fingerprint posters, signature posters, art prints and invitations. These are available for sale on Etsy and Amazon Handmade.
What’s a fingerprint poster?? I’m glad you asked! They’re a perfect way to commemorate guests at an event and also make great thank you gifts for teachers 😉 People add their fingerprint and sign their name on the artwork as a clever way to complete some element. Fingerprint trees are the most common–fingerprints are the added as leaves on the branches. And of course I have some great options for teacher appreciation gifts!
