Gift cards are a great Christmas gift. I know lots of people hate giving them, but most people love getting them (Target and Kohls are my personal favorite). Being able to go to the store and buy something I may not normally get is lots of fun!
Why not spruce up your gift card with a home made holder? It’s easy, and a great way to use up scraps of scrapbook paper you may have lying around.
Step One:
First you need to cut your paper. See the pictures below for the sizes.
This piece I consider the base. It is what you will glue everything onto. I suggest using rubber cement. Also, the paper I used for the base didn’t exactly make a clean fold (in the last pictures you can see white where the folds are).
Step Two:
Fold your 4″ x 6 5/4″ piece of paper at 2 1/2″ and 5″.
Step Three:
Cut a triangle into the piece that is 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Then fold three of the sides. This will become the pocket for the gift card. You want the pocket to be 4″ x 2″ when folded.
Step Four:
Take your piece of paper that is 3 3/4 x 1 5/8 and cut a triangle at the top. Glue this piece to the pocket.
Step Five:
Glue your other cut pieces of paper to the base.

Step Six:
Glue the pocket to the inside of the base.
Step Seven:
Use paper or ribbon to wrap around the holder, and you’re done 🙂
