Felt Giftcard Holder: ScanNCut

The holiday season is upon us – ready or not! Today I am excited to share with you a fun gift card tutorial that I had a really good time making.

The usual disclaimer – I am a paid consultant for Brother, and all ideas & opinions shared here are always my own. 

For a project like this you’ll need felt, thread, sequins, and of course a ScanNCut really helps! For the full how-to, here’s a link to my YouTube video.

The directions are: 

1. Cut two pieces of felt approximately 3×5 (use ScanNCut or cut yourself with scissors)
2. Back felt for ornament with iron-on backing (and leave paper on!)
3. Cut shapes for ornament with ScanNCut
4. Iron-on the ornament pieces to the front
5. Stitch around and on ornament, including using French Knots for the sequins
6. Stitch the back white felt piece to the front to create the pocket

And you’re ready to gift! I just love the mint and pink colors, as well as how cute of a gift this will be. Gift cards are one of my favorite things to give, and making custom holders a favorite as well! I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial – stay tuned! I will soon post a round-up of favorite gift card DIYs!
