Day 21 - Gift Card Holders

I came up with the idea to do these a few weeks ago, and though I would like to share all of it with you, today you're getting only 1 of the 3 versions of the kid friendly card holder I designed for this holiday blog. Turns out, this easy no-sew idea I had for my blogger space has become one of my best selling Etsy items. Big thanks to Rex for asking me to take the next step and sew one for him...


No-Sew Felt Gift Card Holder

What you need:

Scraps of Felt
Fabric Glue
Ruler
Scissors
Ribbon


What you do:

Cut 1 piece of felt 5-inches tall by 4-inches wide. In a coordinating color, cut a second piece 3-inches tall by 2 1/2-inches wide. With the fabric glue, carefully glue around three edges of the small piece of felt and place it in the center of the large piece, 1/2 an inch from the bottom. (Add any embellishments now, like felt shapes or pom poms.)  Let dry.



Fold over the top of the holder 1/2 an inch and cut 2 small slits in the gift card holder, placing them 1/2 an inch from each side. Feed a small piece of ribbon through the slits. Tie a small knot in the ribbons on the back side of the holder. 


Add gift card and hang on a tree, stocking, or doorknob!
