Today we were in the workshop sanding blank slices of a pine tree branch to make gift tags/ornaments as embellishments for the perfect 'green' packaging.

Natural Blank Pine Wood Tree Branch Tags with Bark

First, we started with a pine tree branch and cut slices. After sanding each wood slice super smooth, we broke out the wood burning tool to hand burn a hemlock tree design on each tag. Each tag is drilled with a single hole, and hemp twine is used to keep with the rustic charm. Write the name of a lucky recipient using a felt tip pen.

If you would like to try this project, please visit our shop for a selection of blank tags for your own creations. Not a DIYer? No worries. We sell the finished tags, too. These tags are a perfect embellishment for gift bags and boxes, baked goods, and more. They are also terrific for hand stamping projects.
