Snazzy Gift Card Holders
Giving gift cards for the winter holidays? Make unique holders for them that will please the recipients as much as the cards do!
1. These are a few ideas for making unique gift card holders. Use your imagination and popular Crayola products to design holders that are unique for each recipient!
2. Using white Crayola Color Explosion™, cut out holiday shapes—mittens, menorahs, or snowflakes—with the Crayola Cutter. For best results, cut on the back side. Make fancy interior cutouts, too, as only the Cutter can do! Use the Color Explosion Marker to discover the unexpected colors under the white. With the black outline marker, add designs and details (such as mitten stitching). With Crayola School Glue, attach ribbon to the backs of each piece. Tape the gift card in place.
3. Or you could draw bright holiday pictures such as a dreidel on black Crayola Color Explosion paper. Before you cut out the shape, add tabs to the bottom and sides. Fold the tabs back and glue them to a note card or another piece of Color Explosion paper to create a convenient pocket for the gift card.
4. Use your Crayola Cutter to design festive shapes such as Christmas stockings. You can easily make neat cuts inside your designs, too. Glue bits of bright paper behind the cuts, so the colors peek through! To add ribbon for hanging the stockings, cut small holes in the top corners of the card and tie. Another way to add dimension to your design is to place self-adhesive foam dots between layers.
5. Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ sticks on almost any surface, including paper, so you can make your own 3-D cards with matching envelopes. Press on textured objects such as twigs and beads. Fusion dries to the touch overnight and dries completely in 2 to 3 days.
6. However you make your card holders, the recipients are sure to appreciate your gift—and the package in which it comes!
