12 Days of Christmas: DIY Tree Gift Card Holder

December 11, 2021

It’s December 11, and it’s around this time that I start looking at gift cards to fill up those empty spaces on my gifts-for-others list.

So for Day #11 of my 12 Days of Christmas, I tweaked Day #9’s gift tag design and made it a gift card holder! Using a little cardstock and some yarn, you can add a layer of handmade thoughtfulness to those last-minute gift cards.

Just like with the gift tags from Day #9, there are two versions: one for your printer, and one for a cutting machine (like a Cricut or Silhouette). Both versions are super easy to use; the cutting machine just eliminates the need for scissors and hole punches.


PRINTER VERSION

You will need:

  • These instructions (PDF)
  • This printable (PDF)
  • Cardstock
  • Scissors
  • 1/8″ hole punch (affiliate link)
  • Green, brown and white yarn (or colors of your own choosing)
  • Yarn needle
  • Glue
  • Tape
  • Small 3D star craft stickers


CUTTING MACHINE VERSION

You will need:

  • These instructions (PDF)
  • A cutting machine, such as a Cricut (affiliate link) or Silhouette
  • This cutting file (PNG) – resize to 4″ tall if necessary
  • Cardstock
  • Green, brown and white yarn (or colors of your own choosing)
  • Yarn needle
  • Glue
  • Tape
  • Small 3D star craft stickers

By the way, if you’re in the market for a cutting machine, I love my Cricut Explore (<— affiliate link)!

I hope these come in handy as you make those last-minute preparations for the holidays!

    Wow this is a great article for the arts and crafts .. definitely some thoughtfulness if you make a cardholder like this one to gift someone … digital stickers on photos you can use PhotoStamped to help liven up social media photos too
