Crafts with Kids: Gift Card Holders Involve the Little Ones in Giving |

Here’s a fun craft that you can make with your little ones, or task older kids to design and decorate themselves. Great bonus- you get to check one item off your Christmas prep list! |

Instructions: 1. Cut the felt to 6.5 x 4-inch rectangles- one for each gift card holder. You will fold each piece to a 4 x 2.75 sized pocket with a 1-inch flap. This is just the right size for a standard gift card. 2. Iron the felt to smooth out any wrinkles, then fold and press in the folds neatly with the iron. 3. If you don’t want to sew, you can use strips of fusible webbing to secure the sides, and iron them together. |

4. Otherwise, thread the embroidery floss and stitch a blanket stitch from the bottom corner of the folded felt, up the side, across the open top, and down the other side to the fold. 5. Cut scraps of felt into holiday shapes. Tiny cookie cutters make excellent templates, or you can cut out felt letters to spell out the recipient’s name. 6. Glue the felt shapes and embellishments to either the front or the back of the gift card holder. Allow to dry. 7. Sign your gift cards (don’t forget to write in the amount they are for) and insert them into the holders. |
