![Easy to make!](https://joyslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tag-peppermint-complete.jpg)
Add some sweet fun to a gift by adding a peppermint candy gift tag! You’ll need XXL Glue Dots, scissors, red glitter or embossing powder, a plastic snack bag, white cardstock, a 2″ paper punch, a marker and some ribbon or twine.

If you need a guideline for cutting out your peppermint use a permanent marker to draw onto the plastic sheeting that covers the XXL Glue Dot®. Cut along your guidelines.

Carefully peel the plastic away from the Glue Dot®. Stick the Glue Dot to white paper.
![I used embossing powder because I was surprised to find I owned no red glitter!](https://joyslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tag-peppermint-emboss.jpg)
Remove the top layer of plastic from the Glue Dot® and add glitter or embossing powder.
![Heat embossing was one of the first things I did in crafting.](https://joyslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/tag-peppermint-embossed-before-cut.jpg)
In this project, I added red embossing powder and heat embossed it. Isn’t is cool that you can heat emboss a Glue Dot? Woo hoo!

Using a 2″ paper punch, punch out the peppermint. Cut the top off of a plastic snack bag and put the peppermint inside it.

To make a quick tag, punch out another 2″ circle and add a stamped sentiment or handwrite a sentiment. I’m using Joy’s Life All Around Sentiments stamps. They are made to work with 1″ and 1-1/2″ circle punches, as well as larger circle punches.

Cut the top off of a plastic snack back. Pun the peppermint piece inside the bag. Center your peppermint piece and fold the bag over it, closing it in the back.
Apply another XXL Glue Dot® over the closed bag covering the area where the peppermint piece is located. Stick the 2″ stamped circle to the XXL Glue Dot®. Tie the ends of the bag with ribbon or twine. You have a super sweet looking peppermint tag!
