Theres a Santa, a snowman, and an elf!
Arent they cute?!
Skills Required: Beginner.This is a sewing project, so you need very basic experience with a sewing machine.
There are only straight stitches, and not very many.
Youre also going to hand sew buttons, though you could glue them with fabric glue as well.
Giving gift cards for Christmas is always an easy option.
Lets be honest though, its not very exciting.
To make gift card giving a little more fun this year, I made these feltgift card holders.
We love felt around here!

They are perfect for giving gift cards toteachers, co-workers, or anyone on your list.
I think my husbands boss might be getting one this year.
Start bysewingjust the top and bottom of the white part to a short end of the base.
Fold the gift card holder in half, width-wise.
Fold the ends of the ribbon under and sandwich them in between the top and bottom.
Pin down each side.
I like to use bobby pins for the ribbon.
Stop when you get to the black ribbon, and skip that part until the end.
Change your top thread to black and sew over the sides of the ribbon.
Heres a little diagram to show you the order of sewing.
Sew the red triangle trim at one end of the green felt.
BEFORE sewing together, fold the green felt piece in half so you know where to place the buttons.
Hand sew the buttons down with thread.
Fold the green piece in half and sew down the sides to form the elf inspired holder.
Maybe a half inch or so.
Hand sew the buttons down with thread.
Fold the white piece in half and sew down the sides to form the snowman inspired holder.
Sew right over the red scarf on the edges to tack the ends down.
Before gifting, cut away small strings from any thread.
Which one is your favorite?
I think I like the snowman the most.
But its hard to choose!
