It’s nearly CHRISTMAS again… and this year (after the popularity of last years super cute tags), I thought I’d create a NEW batch of free printable Christmas gift tags and place cards that you can use on your gifts and table setting.
This year's design is quite simple. It’s a little more sleek and structured than last years and is the perfect contrast to the natural table setting I have styled using stoneware, neutral linen and dark greenery.
For this year’s Christmas table setting I have used my new favourite stoneware plates from Aura Home, pudding and cherry dishes by Bridget Bodenham, a natural linen table cloth from West Elm, home-made silver birch candle holders with tall white candles, some lush dark green foliage (a beautiful gift from my Auntie), and my new Christmas place cards (download link at the bottom of post). Simple, effective and beautiful.
On Christmas eve last year my husband Mike put together these simple Silver Birch candle holders that you can see featured in the table setting photos above. To create your own simply cut a Silver Birch branch (we were lucky enough to have a few old branches lying around) into 5-8 cm high rounds, then using a spade drill bit create a candle-sized hole (roughly 1½ cm wide and deep) in the centre of the branch, then place the end of the candle into the hole. Easy! A beautiful natural candle holder. These would also make the perfect gift for your guests to take home.
Table and gift decorations don’t need to be overly expensive. Sometimes it just takes a little resourcefulness and know-how to create that fabulous look on a budget.
Also if you haven't already, make sure you check out my other Christmas posts, especially my Quick & Healthy Christmas Pudding (featured in today’s post), and last year's Free Christmas Gift Tags.
Enjoy the free tags and if I don’t speak to you before, have the most wonderful Christmas!
PS: Be sure to tag me on social media if you upload any photos. I’d love to see your creations! @gatherandfeast

- Using scissors, a blade or guillotine, cut around the dotted line on the outer edges. (I like to use a guillotine to ensure my lines are straight)
- Punch a hole in the top of the tag, add twine, write a special note on the back and attach it to your wrapped gift. ☺
