How to: Give a Gift Card (Like a Boss)

Do you know anyone fixing up a house, building a new home, newly married, or someone wanting to learn a new trade?  Gift Cards can be the perfect way show your love and  support to friends and family!    So, today I am showing you how I add a little bit of personalization to a gift card giving!

When you give a gift card,  you have plenty of fun and festive desigsns to choose from, AND they are re-loadable for the recipient conveninece.  However, if you are trying to do some last minute gift giving they do have a very convenient e-card that can be sent digitally!  You can get all the info here.  #Sponsored

Materials Used:

  •  1 pack of Paint Sticks (10 per pack)
  • Rapid Fuse Glue (It’s like super glue for wood!)
  • 3/4″ bolt and nut
  • Plumbing Hanger
  • Perforated Metal Hanging Straps

Alright,  so if  you are interested in making your own, here are some build plans for you!   Word of caution,  USE the Rapid Fuse wood glue by DAP. It is like super glue for wood, and I would not have had the patinence to complete this project with out it!

NOTE:  All of these boards are made from  paint sticks!  The majority of them are standard width,  the smaller boards you will notice in the build plans are the paint sticks cut in half.  BE careful when you cut these! )

      Now for the finishing touches….

Sidenote… Notice that there is a shocking lack of  stain under my nails! Aren’t I  FANCY ?

  In the event you are wondering what on earth the metal ribbon is… it is “perforated metal hanging straps” you can find it in the plumbing section of the Home Depot.  Word of caution, the ends of this can be quite sharp,  I would not suggest handing this over to someone who might struggle with point objects.

 In order to attach the bow, I drilled a 1/4″ hole in the center  of my middle/top board.

how-to-make-a-gift-card-holder-by-sawdust2stitches-11  I then fed the bolt through the hole, and secured it in place with the accompanying nut.   how-to-make-a-gift-card-holder-by-sawdust2stitches-12  Now because I am a ridiculous over acheiver, I added a cute little logo to the outside of my crate, and it is made out of… You guessed it! Paint Sticks!  I glued the two boards together using the Rapid Fuse and it worked like a charm!

Last but certainly not least  it needs some packing peanuts! In this case I decided the wood shavings from my hand planer was just the ticket!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
