Gift Card Holders

Gift card holder

     At our ASG meeting in September, one of our members demonstrated this cute gift card holder.  She then gave us squares of fabric, cording and little pompoms to make the bags.  We all made one or two and then returned them at the October meeting to be used for a seniors' place Christmas luncheon.

Pattern

     We needed a 12" equilateral triangle for the pattern piece.  I drew mine on pattern paper and then cut out my pieces.

Sewn triangles

     I sewed the two triangles right sides together, leaving an opening to turn.  I trimmed the corners and pressed.  Then I turned it right sides out and pressed again.  

Waiting for the cord

     When you sewed up the sides, it closed up the opening that was used to turn the piece.  Then I turned down the 'flaps' and sewed a casing for the cord.

Ready to thread the cord
    
      I used a blunt, large eyed needle to thread the cording through the casing.  Last step was sewing on the little pompoms to the corners.  A cute idea to give a gift card or a small gift.
