Method

These cards are good choices.

Choose which cards will make the best tags. When deciding, you should consider:

The picture on this card is too small.

1. Size: Big enough to write a message on the back, but not too big for the present you're attaching it to.

There are no pictures to cut into shapes.

2. Shape: Symmetry is always more attractive; try pictures that can be cut round to make circles, squares, triangles, etc.

These cards are damaged an unsuitable.

3. Condition: What is the condition of the card? Flimsy quality won't be much use and if there is text or images on the back, then it will prevent you from writing a message.
