https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/3-different-gift-tags-from-one-coke-zero-box • Posted by Clint R.
I like to see what I can make out of the rubbish in the house and noticed that a Coke Zero box (and Coke boxes in general) have a lot of bold colours. So with that in mind I thought I'd try and make some gift tags from a Coke Zero box only and a little glue. The allotted time is for one gift tag, to make all three would probably take over an hour (or it did for me at least)

I started with a Coke Zero box, luckily it's full of black and red areas with a nice white divider section, this gave me a lot of options.
The process for all three tags is fairly simple but I'll go through them one at a time. For the Mother's Day tag I cut out a rectangular section of the black portion of the box.
Using the drink divider card for the white letters, I stuck them onto the black card.
After I had them in place I made a kind of branch pattern with the inside of the box which is a kind of brown colour and then cut some small red hearts from the Coke logo.
This was probably the simplest of the tags and in a bunch of simple tags, well...that's pretty simple! The 50 was cut from the black card and then stuck onto a red portion of the box.
I then cut around the 50 with a scalpel to create a kind of border and stuck that onto one of the white circular parts of the drink divider.
After that I realised it needed a little more so I mounted it onto some of the interior card and cut a zig zag pattern all the way around it.
It seemed to look best around the neck of a bottle.
I thought I'd give this one a brown background to try out a few different ideas. I cut a larger rectangular shape and then cut out the letters from some black card.
Wanting to add a little red to the tag I made a kind of border/frame from the red parts of the box and then added some little white stars.
The tags all finished and with a load of box left over, I could probably have made at least another 10 tags!
