Use scissors to cut four equal lengths of jute twine to hang loosely across the front of the board horizontally. Attach each loose end of the twine to the back with strong tape so that there are four rows of twine to hang prizes from. Separate the prizes from the assortment individually into clear gift bags, and tie closed with knotted jute twine. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the printable tag, and tie it onto the bag.
