DIY Mini Bag Gift Card Holder
Looking for a fun and beautiful way to give a gift card? These DIY mini gift bags are sized perfectly for holding a 3x4 journaling card with a gift card!
Hey, crafty friend! I love giving fun and beautiful gifts, but sometimes, making an elaborate gift just isn't in the cards. (See what I did there?) It's those times when a gift card is needed. But if you want something different than just another card to hold said gift card, these mini gift bags are fun and quick to make!
But before we get into the tutorial, I just wanted to let you know that the Prima Marketing Summer Vibes Box is here! You get everything you need to make gorgeous summer inspired projects in this box, and it includes flowers, papers and embellishments from the Golden Coast and Surfboard collections. And I used this box to make these sweet mini gift bags!! So head over to the Prima retail site now to reserve your box before they sell out!
To make it super easy for you to follow this tutorial anytime you want, I've got FREE instructions you can download that includes all the measurements and steps you need to make these sweet mini gift bags!
Here's some of the highlights of what you'll get in this free file:
- Full color photo for reference
- Visual specs, including measurements and where to trim, cut and score
- Step-by-step instructions, including how to turn two 3x4 journaling notecards into a pretty gift card holder
Here are the supplies you'll want to have to create this project:
- The Prima Marketing Summer Vibes Box or your favorite Prima colleciton (12x12 papers, chipboard stickers, paper flowers, trinkets/charms, ephemera or fussy cut elements)
- Paper trimmer
- Paper scorer
- Good pair of scissors
- Liquid adhesive
- Metal ruler
- Pencil
- Craft knife and self healing craft mat
- Hot glue gun
- Tissue paper
Some optional supplies include:
- Vellum
- Lace trim
- A sewing machine
- Round needle nose pliers
- Necklace chain extender
You can decorate your mini gift bag however you like, but if you want to know how I attached the metal trinkets to the handle of the bag, here's how I did it:
- Open the jump ring on your metal trinket with your needle nose pliers
- Slide the charm's jump ring onto one of the center links of a necklace chain extender.
- Close the jump ring with your pliers
- Loop the chain with the trinket around one of the handles on your gift bag and close the clasp on the jump ring end of the chain extender.
I hope that you enjoyed this pretty Prima project idea. Don't forget to download your free instructions for this mini gift bag and to get your Prima Summer Vibes Box while supplies last. Until next time, happy crafting!
