How to Wrap a Gift Card

My teens have been to a lot of birthday parties lately. A popular gift choice for teens are gift cards or cash. I find these gift ides to be a bit impersonal but I do like to give a practical, useful gift.

Gift cards don't need to be boring though......






With a pretty bag,  ribbon, a monogram, and a peg/clothespin decorated with washi tape, it looks much more exciting!  The ribbon and paper bag are from Ribbons Galore. I cut the flourish tags with a McGill Fancy Square Punch (which I have in two sizes).

I think I will decorate a few more bitty bags to have on hand for the next party.

I love the gift card wrapping, looks fabulous and so much nicer than the cards they come attached to.

Love the idea, and the way you spiced up giving a gift card. So much better than just putting it in the plain envelope that comes with it. This way, the recipient feels like they are receiving a gift to open.

So cute! Thanks for the idea, we send gift cards to all of the nieces and they do seem a bit boring. Don't mind me, I'm off to pin this! :)
