Make this DIY gift card holder from a paper towel roll in minutes! All you will need is a few supplies and a few minutes to make these for everyone on your holiday shopping list. This post is sponsored by Online Labels however all projects and opinions are my own.
Are you giving the gift of a gift card this holiday season? I’ve got an idea to turn a simple toilet paper roll into an amazing DIY gift card holder.
I love to use recycled materials for crafting. Crafts from recycled materials will save you money on costly craft supplies! I’ve also used toilet paper rolls for a Christmas Advent calendar. It’s amazing what you can do with items you would otherwise throw away.
Plus, the gift card fits perfectly inside the smashed toilet paper roll. Brilliant right?
This simple gift wrap idea is so easy to make and gift cards are fun to give! If you are looking for other gift card holders, try a painted take-out box, handmade felt envelope, or a pouch made out of Duck Tape!
How to Make a Gift Card Holder
Items needed to make your own DIY gift card holder:
- Toilet paper roll (one for each)
- OL1186GI Gold Foil labels
- OL475BK Kraft Paper labels
- Printable file for gift labels
- Ribbon
- Tape (optional)
Instructions
Print the file found here onto your gold foil labels. Yes you can run that gold foil right through a regular printer and it will come out amazing! These labels can also be used on your wrapped packages, gift bags, and oh so much more! Don’t forget to print them!
Use the brown kraft labels to wrap around and hide the toilet paper roll. They will fit almost perfectly.
Allow any excess to hang off one end as shown below. This will close one end as well. You can see that those labels do not quite meet in the center. Don’t worry! We have that covered in the next step.
NOTE: INSERT YOUR GIFT CARD AND ANY NOTE NOW! We are about to close up this package! Wrap a ribbon around the center as shown below. I used a bit of tape to secure tightly while I finished the project. The tape just holds things for a second as I only have two hands.
Then just arrange your gold label in the center OVER where the tape joins. Now the package is closed and you can’t see that tape! Just in case you are wondering, you can also write with any pen on the shiny gold foil as well.
Be sure to grab your labels from Online Labels to turn any toilet paper roll into something FABULOUS! These DIY gift card holders are inexpensive and perfect to hold gift cards for all of your loved ones.
