Last year we used our Cricut machine to create fun Shrinky Dink Snowflake Ornaments that doubled as cute gift toppers, and this year I wanted to create something special for our Hanukkah gifts. I picked up some metallic, glittery, and shimmery Cricut materials, and I created these layered Hanukkah gift tags to top our presents.
Supplies Used for These Hanukkah Gift Tags:
- Cricut Maker Machine (can also use the Cricut Explore series of machines)
- Cricut Faux Leather
- Cricut Sparkle Paper
- Cricut Glitter Vinyl
- Cricut Foil Iron-On
- Cricut Adhesive Foil
- Cricut Foil Acetate
- Cricut EasyPress
- Hanukkah Gift Tags File
Note: these are the supplies that I used for MY tags, but Cricut has tons of other supplies that would also be fun to mix-and-match for this project including Felt, Craft Foam, Vellum, and more! I’ll give you the scoop on what I used for each of my tags, but feel free to play around with different material combinations for your own tags!
The menorah gift tag started with a base layer of metallic gold striped Foil Acetate. I had never used the Foil Acetate before this project, but oh my gosh, it’s my new favorite! The Foil Acetate is a thin sheet of plastic that is perfect for scoring and folding into small gift boxes, packaging, and about a million other crafty things. I can’t wait to use more of it!
The last two tags both start with a base of Sapphire Pebbled Faux Leather. The Pebbled Faux Leather has a slight metallic sheen to it that I absolutely LOVE and was perfect for these Hanukkah gift tags. When using the Faux Leather, I like to work with the purple Strong Grip Mat for best results. While the green Standard Grip Mat is ideal for the majority of cutting materials, Cricut makes three additional mats – Light Grip, Strong Grip, and Fabric Grip – that work best with delicate, heavy, and fabric materials, respectively.
If you make your own set of Hanukkah gift tags, I’d love to hear about which materials combinations you used and love the most! Happy holidays!
