GIFT CARD HOLDER AND TAGS

I love when I have those aha recycle moments, when I see a use for something I’m about to discard. Such was the case

recently with this empty tissue box.

A AHA MOMENT

What I ended up with was an “envelope” to present either money or a gift card in and…

… two gift tags.

TWO GIFT TAGS

1. Gently pull the sides of the tissue box apart so that the box is flat.

4. Turn the piece over so that the tissue opening is facing down and tape down the  flaps.

5. Turn it over and either insert a bill or a gift card. You can then tape the opening on the right.

6. You will use the other side panel to make the gift tags. Fold the panel lengthwise.

7. Cut along the fold, punch a hole in the top and attach a ribbon. You have two gift tags. 

STEP 7

At Christmas, I filled empty tissue boxes with dollar bills. I used painters tape to connect them end to end,

folded accordion style and stuffed them into the box. The look on the faces of my nieces and nephews as they pulled

the long bill chain out of the box was priceless. I found that idea on Pinterest.
