A Special Creature Comforts DIY for Brigitte.de
Hi sweets! I was delighted when back in September, German magazine Brigitte.de got in touch and asked if I would be interested in contributing a holiday-themed project for a festive blogger DIY special they were putting together for their online audience. Of course I said "yes," and then I quickly set to work dreaming up this really sweet printable set that includes various paper bands and tags. I then created a series of step-by-step tutorials for some ways to use them.
You can find the full download over on the Brigitte.de site (look for the download link below the main image). Brigitte.de is a German magazine, so if you are not fluent (I'm not) then you can easily read the directions using a free translating service, such as Google Translate. Note: the download only worked for me when not in translate mode.
The holiday greeting on this main bird tag was created in German for the feature, but I also made an English version to share with those of you who prefer it. You can download the tag sheet here (this download only includes the round bird tags, and not the rest of the printable). I hope you'll have fun using my printables for your holiday decorating and gift wrapping. Thanks Brigitte.de for inviting me to be a part of this fun feature!
And if you missed it earlier this week, I have two additiona DIY projects that you might enjoy working on over the weeked:
- DIY Yarn Pom Poms
- DIY Poppy Flower Gift Toppers (seen on the cover of Gifted Magazine)
Have a fabulous weekend everyone! xo Ez

LOVE this bow! I'm definitely going to be doing this for my Christmas presents!
I was just looking for gift tags to use on presents this year. These are perfect! I just downloaded them!
So cool, so lovely! I saw and liked this on the Brigitte blog, but totally did not read the header properly and did not realize from where this awesomeness came! Now I like it even better! :o)
So creative - Perfect for the holidays!
what a pretty DIY -- very nice, Ez.
The paper bows are genius, EZ. I love them! xo.
This is so pretty! Congrats on the well deserved feature and thank you for sharing it with us!
this is extra special. i adore that you put a watercolor bird of yours on this set! xoxo
I really love, love the bow. And the little bird is so darling. Thank you for sharing ... I can't wait to use it for someone special.
Looks soooo good!!! I love the bird print and the colour combination! My printer is broken :-( so I have to see if I can borrow someone elses...
Thank you for sharing this with us!
I'm going to try the paper ribbon while christmas wrapping this year!
I LOVE this. Also because it's German - I get a little geeky ever since I learned it in college. What can I say, I have a love for languages. I'd totally use the German version for a little added panache. :) Thanks Ez!
That wrapping is adorable! There are so many cute ideas this year!
Nice!
I am on a cuteness overload. Your blog is full of such amazing ideas//inspiration! I love it <3
