In a pinch, you could even use heavy card stock or a thin cardboard to create the tags. But I’m also including a link to find the wooden version on Amazon, which will hold up for longer.
In addition to adding some super cute charm to your tree, you could also attach these little tags to a gift to make it even more sweet.
