Hey crafty friends! I have a fun Stitched Christmas tag to share with you today, created with the Stitched Reindeer die set from Simon Says Stamp Joy For You release. This adorable little guy is so easy to die-cut, layer, and stitch together with a simple running stitch. He is also adorable, made from cardstock
I added a hanger to turn him into a bottle tag, but he would look just as cute tied to a wrapped gift. There’s even plenty of room on his little backside to write “To:” and “From:” with a white fabric pen!

How to create the Oh Deer! Stitched Christmas Gift Tags:
- Die-cut all the reindeer pieces from three shades of brown felt, using beige for the tummy, face, and inner ears. Die-cut the holly leaves and red berries using the holly dies from the Winter/Christmas Embellishments Fergus die set.
- Glue the beige tummy to the front body panel. Glue the light and dark pieces for the arms and legs together, then pin the assembled limbs between the two body panels. Using DMC Cotton #420, sew a running stitch around the body, stitching through the arms and legs to secure them in place.
- Glue the brown head piece to the beige face circle, then add the nose and eyes.
- Glue the beige inner ears to the brown ear pieces. Tuck the assembled ears and antlers between the two round head panels, then insert the top of the body between the panels at the bottom.
- Using a long piece of cotton, sew a running stitch around the head. Stitch back around in the opposite direction to fill in the gaps between your stitches. Be sure to stitch through the body, ears, and antlers as you go to hold everything securely together.
- Add a few stitches to the two holly leaves, then glue them and the red berry to his chest for a festive finished touch.
