Easy DIY Gift Card Holders Using Art Printables → Tutorial

Enjoy this quick and easy tutorial to elevate your gift card giving!

I used to believe that gift cards were a somewhat impersonal choice for a gift. However, over time, my perspective on this has evolved. One notable shift in my thinking occurred when my brothers and I started jointly selecting gifts for our parents. The experience of combining our resources to give them something special has been quite rewarding. Typically, we brainstorm ideas for what to get, and if we decide on a particular store or service, we opt for a gift card. We make sure to share our concept with our parents, letting them know that we've put thought into the choice. This way, they are aware of the effort behind the gift, yet the flexibility of a gift card allows them to explore different options or go for something more luxurious if they wish.

In this free video tutorial, I show you how to create your own personalized gift card holders! This is the perfect way to use printables. I love being able to use the digital downloads that I create from my original artwork. Watch as I demonstrate how to make three different types of gift card holders: a 2-pocket, a 4-pocket, and a 1-pocket. The process is super easy and makes a regular gift card feel much more personal and special.

I start by selecting some of my favorite printouts and then cutting and folding the paper to create pockets for the gift cards. I also share some fun and easy decorative techniques, like using a sewing machine or washi tape to add some flair to the holders. These gift card holders are perfect for any occasion and can be customized with different paper designs, washi tape, or even personal messages to make them truly unique.
