Create a cozy, heartwarming holiday gift tag with this adorable winter girl pulling a sled full of presents!
In Day 13 of 30 Days of Holiday Gift Making, we’re painting a festive watercolor scene using simple shapes, soft earthy tones, and bright pops of red and green to bring our holiday character to life.

This beginner-friendly tutorial walks you through:
✨ Sketching the girl + sled using simple body shapes
✨ Painting muted winter clothing for a rustic look
✨ Adding vibrant gifts in red, green, and ochre
✨ Layering watercolor for depth + dimension
✨ Outlining the tag, adding “To/From” labels, and finishing details
✨ Using markers to add highlights, ribbons, and textures

Whether you're gifting handmade presents or adding charm to store-bought ones, this project is the perfect way to bring warmth and personality to your wrapping.
