It’s December 11, and it’s around this time that I start looking at gift cards to fill up those empty spaces on my gifts-for-others list.
So for Day #11 of my 12 Days of Christmas, I tweaked Day #9’s gift tag design and made it a gift card holder! Using a little cardstock and some yarn, you can add a layer of handmade thoughtfulness to those last-minute gift cards.
Just like with the gift tags from Day #9, there are two versions: one for your printer, and one for a cutting machine (like a Cricut or Silhouette). Both versions are super easy to use; the cutting machine just eliminates the need for scissors and hole punches.
PRINTER VERSION
You will need:
- These instructions (PDF)
- This printable (PDF)
- Cardstock
- Scissors
- 1/8″ hole punch (affiliate link)
- Green, brown and white yarn (or colors of your own choosing)
- Yarn needle
- Glue
- Tape
- Small 3D star craft stickers
CUTTING MACHINE VERSION
You will need:
- These instructions (PDF)
- A cutting machine, such as a Cricut (affiliate link) or Silhouette
- This cutting file (PNG) – resize to 4″ tall if necessary
- Cardstock
- Green, brown and white yarn (or colors of your own choosing)
- Yarn needle
- Glue
- Tape
- Small 3D star craft stickers
By the way, if you’re in the market for a cutting machine, I love my Cricut Explore (<— affiliate link)!
I hope these come in handy as you make those last-minute preparations for the holidays!
