Project: Make Gift Card Holders from Wrapping Paper

November 9, 2016 by Heather Holbrook

Project: Make Gift Card Holders from Wrapping Paper

When you’re wrapping presents this year and you’ve got those scraps of wrapping paper left don’t toss them in the recycling bin turn them into gift card holders. Also use those scraps of ribbon to tie them closed and add s tamped tag to personalize them :). Kristina Werner has a video tutorial for this fun wrapping idea.

-Heather

I am a big fan of gift cards, I know lots of people find them impersonal but being able to purchase what YOU need or what YOU want is far more logical than receiving random gifts and stocking fillers that you may not use. Especially with all these Netflix programs telling us to downsize, declutter and or course Konmarie everything.

The only disappointing thing with gift cards is not being able to shop for items, if you are like me and enjoying shopping for special gifts then maybe consider shopping for smaller stocking fillers or fun ways to wrap or gift the gift cards. You can present or gift a gift card in a fun and special way too.

One year I added the gift cards to some pretty wide mouthed water bottles that have been filled with little trinkets. We also featured this Giftcard Christmas tree idea on the blog here.
