Nightmare Before Christmas Gift Tags Printable

I'm on a roll...
Here is another simple but sweet DIY. I just created these printable gift tags in Photoshop using some photos from the Haunted Mansion Holiday attic scene for reference. These would go great with your Nightmare Before Christmas Wrapping Paper!

After you download to your computer, you can use photo editing software to add colors and names to your tags. You can also print out blank tags, decorate and address by hand.

DIY Black & White Stripe Nightmare Before Christmas Ribbon Tutorial

I received many emails requesting more tutorials and some messages of encouragement.
Thank you so much to those who took the time to write me!

So lets get the ball slowly rolling with this NBC Ribbon tutorial.

This tutorial is not a new prop, but a staple for any NBC prop collection.

Here is the classic striped ribbon hanging on the Haunted Mansion during the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay:

Older version of Haunted Mansion ribbon was striped on both sides


 There are a couple of ways to accomplish the look of this Nightmare striped ribbon. It all depends on how much time and money you want to spend.

Here is what I did to create my ribbon:
(Poor Man's Version)
I purchased black wired ribbon at a craft store. Then I used white acrylic paint to paint on the wiggly stripes and purple acrylic paint to paint on the back side of the ribbon.

 

Here is a tutorial submitted to me by a fellow NBC fan Kurt:

Kurt used Duct Tape, wire and sharpie to create his ribbon. I love how it has that vinyl look and feel just like the Disneyland original ribbon has.
