Part of the fun of making handmade items is giving them as gifts. Why not make sure they can be enjoyed by your recipient for years to come by letting them know how to care for the item. I’ve made it easy for you to do just that with these free printable gift tags. Each sheet includes two tags each of the following instructions:
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low.
Hand wash. Lay flat to dry.
Machine wash cold. Lay flat to dry.
Machine Wash Warm. Tumble Dry Low.
Click on the links below to download the printable gift tags in your choice of the following colors …
May 2014 update — I had a reader request a new laundry care option … Machine Wash Warm. Tumble Dry Low. You can download the pdf for this new free printable gift tag option by clicking here. I formatted them in the same color schemes as the others … pink, purple, blue, green, and grayscale.
December 2014 update – French translations is available from Lyne from Mémé Tricot Forum. Click here to download the French Gift Tags.

Hello. I am curious do you just print the pages on regular paper? Wouldn’t that just fall of over time? Or is there some special type of paper to print it on?
Kara says
Hi Sheena 🙂 I am not really sure what you mean?
Cathy says
I was kind of wondering the same thing, just use regular paper? a heavier paper? and how to attach it to what we made. I like the embroidered ones that are sewn on.
Kara says
I use a slightly heavier printer paper than usual and just hole punch a corner or enclose it in the gift box.
Nancy says
Card stock works well.
Jessica says
Thank you so much for making the new tags. However, when I tried to print myself a copy of the PDF, they just came out as solid-colored ovals. Is it something I’m doing wrong, or have others had this problem?
Lyne says
Is it possible to have your tags in french ?

Jessica says
These are wonderful! Would you mind making one that says: Machine Wash Warm, Tumble Dry Low? I use Red Heart SuperSaver yarn A LOT and those are the care instructions on their labels.
Kara says
Sure, Jessica! I added the new care tag option for Machine Wash Warm, Tumble Dry Low in the post. Enjoy 🙂

Kara says
Oh no! I don’t know why … I just tried and it worked for me 🙁
Patty says
Thank you so much! They are adorable and perfect!!!

I love the idea of using tags to identify your hand made wonders. This is something of use, I recently sent through US Mail for some labels, it has been 3-4 months, I hope I receive them soon. Thank You

Kara, thanks so much for the gift tags. Care instructions are so very important when giving a gift of yarny goodness! I have my own care instruction tags that read: love me….use me…..wash me….mend me if need be! However, they only pertain to machine wash items. These will be great for my holiday knitting/crocheting gifts.
Best,
Sheila
