Holiday Gift Tags
Thanks very much for considering making tags for our community giving trees. If you have a certain number of hours to fulfill for a community service project, we ask that you work on this project for the required hours. We will gladly sign your 'hours sheet' when you drop your tags by Tri-Lakes Cares. Please call 481-4864, ext 22 with any questions.
• you may use the fronts of old holiday cards (no religious images please as we are a community based non-profit). Just cut out the image or cut a neat 3.5 inch square OR
• you may find an appropriate clip art image on the internet (final tags should measure about 3 1/2 inches square). Christmas balls or stockings or trees work well. Our gift chair will be gluing a typed holiday request on the back).
• You may also trace an appropriate cookie cutter (like a gingerbread man)
• Use card stock (colored is fine) or 4X6 unlined index cards. You may decorate but please NO GLITTER.
• Cut out your image or the front of a card, punch a hole in the top, and thread a ribbon or yarn through the hole so that it may be hung on a tree.
We will need these by early November
Thank You So Much
