Vampire Gift Tag Ornament




Vampire Gift Tag Ornament-JMRush

Approximate Size: W 3.25” x H 4.5”


This simple to construct design would be perfect to label your goodies for Halloween parties. This design is compatible with both 8X12 and 12X12 mats.

1. Cut the design pieces. ( I used double sided card stock)

2. Glue the hair piece to the coordinating shape on the round head piece with eye mouth cut outs. Glue the hands to the coordinating shapes on the tag base. Glue the white collar sleeve piece in place on the combined tag base. Glue the tiny oval to the nose base; aligning at the top.

3. Glue the combined nose to the head piece. Glue the bow tie and buttons to the tag base.

4. Place the combined head over the tag base aligning at the top and sides of the coordinating shape. Using a pencil, mark where the eyes should be places.

5. Remove combined head and place enamel jewels on the pencil marks. (I added a ribbon over the bow tie and adhesive jewels over the buttons.)

6. Attach the combined head with adhesive foam squares.

7. This is what it should look like:)

8. Flip the design over and glue the white body shape into place so that you have a place to write (optional).

1. Cut the design pieces. ( I used double sided card stock)

2. Fold the box and Mouth base at the score lines.

3. Glue the pink mouth piece (with holes) to the coordinating shape on the mouth base;aligning at the inner oval cut out shape.

4. Use pieces of foam adhesive squares to attach the teeth shapes to the coordinating shapes on the combined mouth base.

5.  Glue the two tiny oval white pieces to the coordinating shapes on the eyes. This is what it should look like:)

6. Flip the mouth base top over, like so. Glue the Cat head to the coordinating shape; aligning at the top of the ears.



7. I used an orange marker on the edges of the cat eyes. Glue the cat eyes into place.

8. Place the Cat nose on the cat face to find placement and then remove.

9. Cut thread ( approximately three strands of 4inches).

10. Attach the threads with glue to the area you picked to place the Cat nose. Allow to dry.

11. Using a foam adhesive square, place the Cat nose on top of the threads.

12. I used adhesive jewels to accent the eyes.


13. Apply glue to the small vertical side tab at the left side of the bottom of the box base.

14. Secure the small vertical side tab to the 1 inch (width) rectangles just above. 

15. Apply glue to the very left vertical tab, the horizontal tab, and the side tab on the bottom right and attach the side and bottom of the base…wrapping it crating a box.

16. This is what it should look like:)

17. Tuck the tab into the slot on the top.

18. Flip the box base over and apply glue to the area just outside the oval cut out.



 19. Attach the combined Cat head; centering it around the cut out oval shape and allow to dry.

20. I finished by adding a ribbon and filling with fun sized candies.
