When I saw we were having a baby shower here on the blog, I immediately thought of these little cuties. I had always wanted to do them, but sadly, there are no more baby clothes at our house. Now I have the perfect chance!
I measured my little hangers (I do still have some of those around!) and decided I wanted my tags to be about an 1.5 inches in height and 3.5 inches wide. That way when I folded them around the hanger, they would stick out enough to see and not enough to be in the way.
I knew I wanted to use Mari Koegelenberg’s new kit, LuvBug, available now at The Digi Chick. It has the cutest little elements and that ‘aged’ paper look I love. I chose some of my favorite papers and elements from the kit and I designed my little tag, making sure to keep the elements away from the middle, giving me plenty of room to fold.
I printed several out on Epson Matte Presentation Paper (a hybrid must!). Then I just cut them out, and using a bit of scrapbook glue, adhered them around the hanger. I decided against scoring them first, as this is more of a rounded fold than a crisp one.
These would be such a cute shower gift! And making a dozen, even two, would be so inexpensive and a very usable, personal gift. They could be used on every hanger to easily see the size of the outfit, or used as dividers on the rod (for the very organized!).
I’ll be giving away a set of these tags with the hangers! Just leave a comment in this blog post to be entered to win. You’ll receive an additional entry for linking to this post on your blog, on Facebook, or Twitter! All winners will be announced on June 28th.

This is so cute!! What a great gift idea!
What a bright idea!! I totally see this as a babyshower gift! Thanks for your tutorial!
Oh, I wish I would have thought of this! Thanks for sharing with me, I have another baby shower this weekend.
Oh how cute and a very neat idea. Sure wish I had something like this several years ago, with 7 kids, this would have been great I don’t know how many times I came across outfits that were too little to use, and I also swore I would not let that happen with the next baby, but I did. A very neat idea and also a great gift. Those babies accumulate alot of clothes and this is a great way to keep track of the sizes and all.

Those are really cute. I have to admit at first I wasn’t sure about their practicality, but after learning what you use them for that makes great sense. Very creative.

Oh such a great idea! I will be making a set of these up – actually have to bring a shower gift in the next few days!
What a great idea! I recently made some labels using some of my digialphas for my boys’ room but this would be great for the baby’s room
Love these as well! You are SO talented!!!!
Beyond cuteness!!! I have got to make some for my niece! Thanks for a wonderful idea.
Those are great!!!! I had some plastic ones when my oldest was a baby. I loved them but they got lost along the way
I am so sad that I missed the deadline for these… they are so cute… I just had my daughter 2 months ago and I am always having to look through her clothes to find the right sizes… let me know if you are going to do another giveaway with these… –Rebecca
