Palak from Make It Handmade is over at Sew So Easy today with a tutorial showing how to make a little fabric envelope gift card holder. They’re quick to sew up and are a pretty way to present a gift card to a recipient. She can make one in just 5 minutes! And they use just a little bit of fabric (12″ x 4.5″ piece) so you can hit your scrap bin for this project. Her guest post is part of the Seasonal Sewing Series at Sew So Easy. Go to her guest post to get the tute.

I am a big fan of gift cards
, I know lots of people find them impersonal but being able to purchase what YOU need or what YOU want is far more logical than receiving random gifts and stocking fillers that you may not use. Especially with all these Netflix programs telling us to downsize, declutter and or course Konmarie
everything.
The only disappointing thing with gift cards is not being able to shop for items, if you are like me and enjoying shopping for special gifts then maybe consider shopping for smaller stocking fillers or fun ways to wrap or gift the gift cards. You can present or gift a gift card in a fun and special way too.
One year I added the gift cards to some pretty wide mouthed water bottles
that have been filled with little trinkets. We also featured this Giftcard Christmas tree idea on the blog here.
