I have a frame on my kitchen counter that comes and goes depending on the season. It started with a Halloween free printable that said, “Eat, Drink and Be Scary.” I put it away after Halloween, and then I pulled it back out for Christmas to frame “Keep Calm and Jingle On”.

When I was cleaning up my Christmas decorations this year, I thought to myself…why not find free holiday printables that I can rotate throughout the year? I’m partial to the Keep Calm printables, so I’ve put together a collection with one for every major holiday – Valentine’s, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Print them out for yourself or give them as a gift, after all…they’re FREE, and they’re festive!

If you’re not familiar with free printables, just click the image that you want, and you’ll be directed to a page with the instructions for printing…you’ll even be able to choose your size (8″ x 10″ or 5″ x 7″).

You’ll never run out of gift tags again when you use free printable gift tags…they’re festive and frugal! Here’s how…

1. Click on your favorite gift tags, and you’ll be on my Pinterest board.
2. Click again on the gift tags, and you’ll be able to download the image.
3. Print on white card stock.
4. Cut them out while you’re watching TV or better yet…let your children cut them out!

If I had to choose my favorite festive and frugal gift idea, it would have to be free printables!

“What are free printables,” you ask?

It’s like having your own personal graphic artist, and in 3 easy steps you’ll have a great looking gift for next to nothing!

1. Do a web search to find a free printable that you like or use one of mine below.
2. Print using your home printer.
3. Frame in an inexpensive frame.

 
If you’re looking for a completely FREE gift, re-use an existing frame…remember, black spray paint is a miracle worker! Inexpensive frames are always available at The Dollar Store, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, Big Lots, Michaels or Hobby Lobby (don’t forget your coupon).

Feast your eyes on a few of my favorite Christmas free printables, and if you like it…just click and print! The first click will take you to my Pinterest board, click the image again, and you’ll be able to download the image for printing.
