Gift Card Holder

 I like gift cards. No matter how impersonal they are; I still to receive em'. Although, I hate to give em' because of how impersonal they are...I'm a weirdo.

So here is a tutorial. It can be used for a tiny gift such as a ring or necklace. Or as a gift card holder. Either way, it's cute. And it makes you feel less guilty for giving such an impersonal gift! Afterall, you took the time to make the holder! Did I mention it's cheap and it's done with what you have at home? Can't get any better than that.

You will need:
  • Toilet paper roll
  • Your choice of scrapbooking paper (4x6)
  • Glue
  • Crop-a-dial or hole puncher
  • Ribbon

1. Flatten your tp roll (I use a bone folder for the edges)

2. Glue your paper all the way around the roll and attach clips to ensure it sticks good

3. Trim any excess roll on the edges

4. Take your crop-a-dile and make 5 holes (I eyeball the distance between each hole)

5. You can lace up the ribbon however you like. I lace each side twice -so I end up on the same end I started from.

6. Tie a bow and do the other side (don't forget to put your gift in first!)
