DIY Hang Tags for Jewelry

Today I'm going to explain how to make your own hang tags at home without spending hundreds of dollars. The amount printing companies charge really is ridiculous, so i have taken it upon myself to save you some money. This is the method I use for my own business, sassyNpunk, so you know it's a good one ;)


The main ingredient to a good diy hang tag is some really good paper. Now depending on your budget, you can go with the kind i use which will save you a lot of time, or you can use the less expensive kind but waste a lot of time cutting. To save time, I use perforated business card paper. This is the easiest, fastest, and cleanest way to get a really affordable tag. Yes, it's true that it's expensive, but i'm a busy person, so the time it saves me is worth the extra cost. Where can you get this special paper, you ask? Well, I purchase mine from Office Depot, a pack of 200 cards (20sheets of paper) costs around $20. I buy the Avery brand cards, they have tons to choose from, so get whatever you like.

After you can go to the Avery brand website and download one of their business card templates. Based on what you buy, you can find the compatible template here. I use the 10 card per sheet template for Adobe Photoshop. Be sure to download the template that is compatible with whatever program you are going to be using to make your design. There is an ID number on the box that will correspond with each business card template.


Open you template and create your design. These are the tags i created. You'll want to keep in mind that you are going to be folding each card in half. So position your design accordingly. I rotated my template 90 degrees b/c i prefer a shorter tag.  Remember that the top half of the card with end up being the back, so anything in the top half portion will need to be flipped 180 degrees.

after you print out your design, fold each card in half, don't cut! Hang on top of your little jewelry bags. Then staple!

And now you have a hang tag for your jewelry bags! wuhuu!
