How to Print and Use Your Tags 🖨️
Okay, let's talk about making these tags look amazing! After printing hundreds of these (literally, I'm the go-to Halloween tag person at my school now), I've figured out all the tricks to make them look perfect.
Best Printing Tips:
- Use card stock if you can (65 lb paper works great)
- Regular printer paper works too - just handle with care
- Print in "high quality" mode for best results
- Make sure your printer is set to "actual size" (not "fit to page")
- Test print one sheet first to check colors
- Let ink dry completely before cutting
Cutting Tips:
- Use sharp scissors or a paper cutter
- Cut straight lines first, then round the corners
- Keep a spare printed sheet just in case
- Cut inside the lines for cleaner edges
My secret weapon? A $5 paper cutter from the dollar store. It makes cutting these tags super quick and keeps all the lines straight!
