Upcycled Gift Card Holders for the Holidays

Now I know you have a box of holiday & greeting cards squirreled away in your stash.  We can't bear to part with them can we?  They must be good for a craft project.  

Yes, we've all made gift tags from greetings cards but how about taking that thought one step further to create gift card holders.

You can have a bunch of these ready in an afternoon!

Supplies you'll need

    -    old holiday cards

    -    plain card

    -    festive ribbon

    -    glue stick or double sided tape, hole punch, corner cutter (optional)

    -    scissors and scalpel


How to 

Cut the fronts off of your chosen holiday cards and trim.  Cut a slim gift card wide slot about one third down from the top of the card.

Cut your plain card to size for backing and glue or tape into place avoiding the area where you will slide the gift card in.

Finish with rounded corners and a small hole to thread your ribbon.

Write your greeting on the reverse and slide in to an envelope, decorate the tree or hang with your Christmas stockings!
