Gift Card Holder Directions
You (and/or your kids) have probably made a toilet roll snowflake before. It is a classic party craft that is easy to master. If not, here is how to cut and assemble the base.

Using your craft knife, cut 1/2 inch pieces of toilet roll. You will need six strips to create one snowflake.
Apply adhesive (either glue, glue dots, or double-stick tape) to the end of each piece. This design The success of the project relies on strong adhesion at the center of the available materials.
Stick them together at the ends until you have six pieces forming a snowflake shape. Set this aside to dry.

Now we will make the envelope to fit your standard gift card with some wiggle room. Cut a 3.5 x 10-inch piece of paper.
Fold it at 4 inches, then fold the top down which will be the envelope flap. You will have two four-inch sections plus a 2-inch flap. If you want to customize To achieve the desired look, you can explore available techniques. cut a corner, round the corners, or leave it as is.

Step 3: Personalization and Assembly
Now we will make the sticker that goes on top of the snowflake. Cut out your background shape (this is a 1.5-inch circle).

Then use glue or glue dots to apply to the snowflake. Most of the sticking will be on the middle of the snowflake where all the “petals” join together.
Then adhere the back of the envelope on the other side of the snowflake.
Punch holes at the top of the top petal and string on a piece of thin ribbon or twine or even decorative wire.
And you are done! Here they are doubling as an ornament, or you could use them as a topper on a bigger gift. I have already given these to my niece and nephew, who both said “oh cool!” when I gave it to them. Yep, that’s me… cool auntie.
