As the school year approaches, I wanted to send a little gift to my son’s teachers on the first day of school. Rather than just sending a gift card in an envelope, I opted to make something a little extra special. After scouring Pinterest for some theme ideas, I set out to create my gift card holder.
I used the Cricut Maker to cut all of the pieces for this project. The pencil image is one that I already owned from my previously linked cartridges. However, the image can be purchased for a nominal fee in the software. If you are interested in creating this project, I linked my design file under the materials needed section below.
Materials Needed
- Design
- Cardstock: pink, tan, black, yellow, light and dark grey
- Cricut Maker
- Perforation Blade
- Cricut fine point pen: black
- Adhesive
- Gift card
Instructions
- First access the file from the link above.
- Following the directions, cut the design out of cardstock using the Cricut Maker.
- Next, assemble the front of the pencil with the adhesive of your choice.
- Attach the gift card to the holder.
- Glue the cardholder to the backside of the top pencil panel.
- Finally, glue the back panel of the pencil to the top. Make sure the tab that says pull is facing outward.
