Hi!

I'm a newbie to Inkscape, so this question must be easy to answer, I hope ^^. I want to create gift tags, not with rounded corners, but with a small triangle cut out on the sides. As an example, please look at the picture included.() I only want to know how to make the outer lines, I don't need any help on the design of the tag itself.

I tried making a rectangle and a large triangle while using the functions difference, union, etc, but it did not give the desired effect. Then I tried using two smaller triangles on the sides, using the 'difference' function, but I don't know how to put the two triangles on the exact opposite of each other.

Thank you for helping me out!

I'd use a grid and draw a rectangle, add extra nodes on the top line and drag the corner nodes down. Snap path nodes to grid.

Thank you I will try that tomorrow ^^

Another solution:
draw a rectangle, make corners rounded by the handles,
convert it to path (Ctrl+Shift+C) and use the node tool delete unnecessary nodes at the bottom, and make all segments linear.

Well how you started can be made right too.
There is the align and distribute panel (Shift+Ctrl+A) which can help.

Another way (easiest, imo):



You can see in the attachment, how to set up the Pen/Bezier tool, as well as how to set up Snapping. Just click once where indicated, then when you come back to the tiny square at the beginning, click once in there as well. The tiny square will be filled with red, when the mouse is in the right position to click and close the path.

Would you like to put a tiny circle, for the ribbon to tie it with?
