These free printable religious Christmas gift tags bring the nativity story to your wrapped gifts this season, with the star over Bethlehem, a gentle manger, angels with spread wings and candles glowing in stained glass colors. The set holds 19 sheets, each with three or four large blank tags in a different shape (arched, round, scalloped, oval, star, luggage, ticket, square, heart and church-shaped), every one with a small nativity decoration tucked at a corner or edge and plenty of open space to write a name or a verse.
Print the sheets on matte cardstock for tags that hold up to handling, or on plain paper if you plan to glue them onto kraft card stock after cutting. Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale to fit the page, then cut around each tag leaving a thin white border so the ink lines stay crisp.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
The Star And The Dove
The first sheet in the set gathers the star over Bethlehem on an arched tag, a white dove on a round tag and an olive branch on a scalloped label, three quiet symbols of hope that work equally well on a gift for a Sunday school teacher or a close friend.
Give the arched tag to someone who loves a clean, simple silhouette, and save the dove for a tag that doubles as a small peace blessing tucked into a card.
Round out this section with a luggage tag showing a manger filled with straw, a round tag with a shepherd’s crook resting at an angle, and an oval tag with a small lamb curled at its base.
These pair naturally with the Bethlehem star sheet above, so stack the two together for a wrapped gift that tells the whole opening of the story from star to stable, perfect for layering into a Christmas junk journal spread.
Light And Prayer
Finish wrapping a gift for a godparent or confirmation sponsor with the star-shaped tag carrying a golden halo, write a short blessing on the rectangular label with praying hands, and use the round candle flame tag on a gift meant to be opened by candlelight on Christmas Eve.
This sheet leans into the feel of a small country church: an arched window tag in stained glass colors, a round tag with a church bell, a scalloped tag with a sprig of holly and a square tag with an open hymn book left blank inside.
Write a favorite carol title or a line of scripture inside the hymn book tag, and use the stained glass window on a gift bound for the pastor’s family. These sheets print beautifully alongside the ideas in Christmas card doodles if you want matching cards.
Angels And Stars
Set the round tag with an angel’s spread wings aside for a gift to a grandchild, let the luggage tag with a golden trumpet announce a special delivery, and use the oval tag with a cluster of tiny stars on anything wrapped for a quiet midnight gift exchange.
Four tags make up this sheet: a scalloped tag with a small wooden cross set among evergreen, a round tag with a heart made of light rays, a ticket label with the gold gift box of the wise men, and a rectangular label with a sprig of cedar.
Leave the thin white border around the cross tag when you cut, since the narrow branches of evergreen are easiest to trim cleanly with small scissors rather than a craft knife.
The Journey Of The Magi
Write the name of a far away relative on the luggage tag with three camels crossing a dune, give the round tag with a king’s crown to someone who loves a touch of gold leaf on their wrapping, and save the square jar of myrrh tag for a gift with a scent or spice inside.
This sheet carries a quieter, more personal set of symbols: an oval tag with Mary’s blue veil, a round tag with a single white lily, a rectangular label with a small chapel on a hill, and a scalloped label wrapped in a candle wreath.
Print this one on sticker paper if you want to press the lily or the chapel straight onto a plain kraft tag rather than cutting a full shape, a quick shortcut when you are wrapping several gifts the same evening.
The Stable Path
Round tag, luggage tag and ticket label share this sheet: a gentle donkey, a small hay bale and a sprig of rosemary, three humble details from the road to Bethlehem that suit a plain, unhurried gift wrapped in brown paper.
Three shapes carry the story toward its quiet center here: a star tag with a single shining star, a round tag with a dove carrying an olive sprig, and an oval tag with a full nativity silhouette against the night sky.
The nativity silhouette tag works well as the main label on a larger gift, so write the recipient’s name across its open lower half and pair it with the smaller star and dove tags tucked into the ribbon or tape. These three also sit nicely among the ideas in Christmas drawing ideas easy doodles if you want to sketch extras by hand.
Advent And Evergreen
Four tags fill this sheet with the feel of early December: a scalloped tag with an Advent wreath of four candles, a round tag with a single pine cone, a ticket label with a small bell tower, and a square tag with a red poinsettia bloom.
Music carries through this sheet: an arched tag with an angel playing a harp, a round tag with two small music notes, and a luggage tag with a single choir candle held upright.
Choose the harp tag for a gift to someone in the church choir or handbell group, and keep the music note tag handy as a small extra label for cards that travel inside Christmas junk journal pages this season.
Fields And Flocks
Write a quiet blessing on the round tag showing two resting sheep, let the rectangular label with a hillside under stars set the scene on a larger box, and finish with the scalloped tag showing the shepherds’ small campfire glowing against the night.
This sheet suits anyone who loves to write: a luggage tag with an open Bible left blank on both pages, a round tag with a simple quill, and an oval tag with a crown made of olive leaves.
Fill the open Bible tag with a favorite verse before wrapping it around a gift for a Sunday school teacher, and keep the quill tag on hand for last minute notes since its small size takes only a few words.
Small Blessings
Four small tags share this sheet for the littlest gifts: a heart-shaped tag with a tiny cross, a round tag with a white rose, a square tag with a single gold star, and a ticket label with a sprig of myrtle.
Three tags bring a small country church to mind here: a church-shaped tag with a bright red door, a round tag dusted with snow on a steeple, and an oval tag with a wreath resting on a church pew.
Leave the thin white edge around the church-shaped tag when cutting its roofline, since that outer line is the easiest spot to lose a clean corner. This sheet makes a lovely addition if you also enjoy the ideas in Christmas festival drawing.
Gentle Nativity
Set the scalloped label with a cradle of straw aside for a baby’s first Christmas gift, let the round cherub tag soften a card for a grandchild, and use the luggage tag with a brass candlestick on anything wrapped for a quiet evening gathering.
This sheet gathers four gentle images: an arched tag with a soft rainbow over a stable, a round tag with a flight of tiny swallows, a rectangular label with a small oil lamp, and a square tag with a hand bell.
Cut the swallow tag with small detail scissors rather than a craft knife, since the thin wing shapes are easier to trim by hand without catching the inner lines.
The final sheet closes the set gently: a star-shaped tag trailing a soft comet tail, a round tag with a lamb resting on straw, and an oval tag with a single candle glowing in a window, each ready for a last name or a closing verse.
What to Do Next
Print the sheets you need most, keep the rest ready in a folder for cards and journals through the season, and let the nativity story travel along with every gift you wrap this year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these religious Christmas gift tags?
Matte cardstock gives the cleanest result, since it holds its shape when punched with a hole and handled during wrapping. Printable sticker paper also works well if you prefer to press each tag directly onto plain kraft card instead of cutting a full shape.
What printer settings keep the tags sharp?
Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale the page, and choose the best or highest quality photo setting available. This keeps the fine grey outlines crisp and stops the watercolor fills from looking washed out.
How do I cut out tags with curved edges like the scalloped and oval shapes?
Small detail scissors handle the scallops and curves most easily, while a craft knife on a cutting mat suits any tight inner corners. Leave a thin white border around each tag so the ink line stays fully visible after cutting.
Can these tags be used inside a junk journal instead of on a gift?
Yes, many of these shapes work as journal embellishments once trimmed, tucked into a pocket page or glued flat onto a spread. The arched, oval and scalloped shapes especially suit a journal page border.
How do I attach a finished tag to a wrapped gift?
Punch a small hole near the top edge and thread it through with twine, or use a strip of washi tape across the back if you prefer no visible hole. A glue stick also works well for tags meant to lie flat against gift wrap.
