A cupcake gift bag is perfect for just about any occasion including birthdays and so much more. Jen Goode with 100 Directions is back again this month with a Cricut project and free SVG file that you will love.

Create a cute cupcake gift tag in just a few steps with this easy tutorial and a free SVG file. Make gift giving even more personal with a custom gift bag you make yourself. You can even find most of these materials are your favorite dollar store – I’ll show you how!

I love to add a little personal touch to gifts and gift bags. I think it’s like adding just bit of extra love to every package. This cupcake cutout design is easy to cut with any Cricut machine and can be created from a variety of materials or colors.

DIY Gift Bag with Cupcake Tag

Make a cupcake gift tag with your Cricut and add to a cute bag for a present.

Supplies

Gift bag
Crepe paper streams
Curling ribbon
Cricut Machine
Construction paper
Cupcake gift tag by Jen Goode
Double-sided tape or glue

Instructions

Download the free cupcake SVG file here. Then upload it to Cricut Design Space, set the size, and follow the onscreen instructions to cut.
To make a crepe paper bow, choose two colors, fold (without creasing) 5 times, accordion-style. Staple it in the back. Cut angled tails.
Loop curling ribbon through the center top hold of the cupcake tag, string through the handle of a gift bag and then thread the ribbon back through the tag. Trim and curl the ribbon with the edge of your scissors. This will hold the tag in place without requiring a knot.
Tape the bow to the bag, overlapping the ribbon with the tag. Tip: To help the bow sit properly, add a little double sided tape between each loop.
