Gift Card Value

When I give a gift card I like most of the gift value to be spent on the actual gift card… not on the wraping paper! Lavish wrappings can be attractive, but if it costs $10 that is $10 that could be added to the value of the actual card.

This tutorial uses Dollar Tree gift card holders, Christmas buttons from Oriental Trading Company and stick on magnets to make an attractive and affordable gift card presentation. The total project costs less than $3.00 and takes only a few minutes.

Gift Card Holder Supplies

1 – Metal gift card holder for each gift card (Dollar Tree)
8 – Mini, 1 ¼ inch buttons per gift card holder
8 – Peel and stick 0.75-Inch Round Magnet with Foam Adhesive

Gift Card Holder Directions

1. Use a needle nose pliers to remove the pin from the back of the buttons.

2. Peel the back off the magnets and stick to the pins.

3. Carefully remove the plastic gift card holder from the metal case.

4. Place the magnets in the gift card holder. You can fit four magnets on the top and four on the bottom. Replace the plastic liner.

5. Give a fun, personalized gift card!
