Just as I suspected, you and I are kindred folk…peas in a pod…one in the same…total twinsies. You feel me, or do you need more cliches? Because I can go all day. I loved seeing your responses to My Favorites yesterday, and loved that we had so much in common.
Today I’m sharing a sweet little DIY I whipped-up during last week’s Icemageddon….cute gift card holders! I much prefer to give actual gifts, but for some people, gift cards are the only way to go. I’d rather someone (especially teachers) get exactly what they want, too. But I still like to jazz them up so they’re fun to receive and open.
Then cut a bunch of circles in varying sizes and colors.
Stack the circles on the front piece of the stocking, then sew them in place. You could use glue too, but since I had nothing but time, I figured I’d work on my laughable sewing skills. I only sewed the middle of the circles so the sides would flap up for more dimension.
So they’d hang on the tree, I sewed a loop of felt to the back piece.
Final step is to sew the two pieces of the stocking together, leaving the top open.
Now they are cute additions to our tree, until Christmas day!
A lot more fun than just an envelope, don’t you think? And they won’t get lost in the pile of presents under the tree.
Check out the other fun ways I’ve packaged gift cards here and here. Do you like to give actual gifts, or gift cards? How do you package them?
CUTE idea! i give gift cards pretty often so this would be cuter than a card or box! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Very cute idea, Cassie! I already stock up on felt like it's the apocalypse. There's just so many sweet things you can do with it.
Super cute! I have a lot of giftcards to do this year and now I am inspired to DIY a holder for them!!
Darling. I am having to dress mine up this year as my nieces have reached the age where they want gift cards 🙁 Cute colors!
Cute! Much better than the usual envelope!
Such an awesome idea! I love it! I'm doing a Christmas link up the next couple of days if you want to join! This was such a great DIY!
