I can make that!' Nerdy professional by day, goofy won-ton by night. The won-ton sometimes comes out during the day when I'm fed the dollar breakfast at Ikea. Since our engagement, wedding planning has put me on high alert for bargains and I've been pushing my nimble fingers through callous building experiments!

DIY Recycled All Purpose Tags

January 6th, 2009 @ 1:15 pm by Mrs. Green Tea

After a wedding and the holidays, we often find ourselves with a collection of gift cards. Gift card holders are often made of cardstock with nifty graphic effects and textures, and they always seem to carry so much recycle potential. Today, I made these out of some Starbucks gift card holders with a fuzzy textured print:

The loop one seems most practical, so I’ll show you how to make that. You start with a plain ol’ giftcard holder and cut out any size rectangles suitable for a tag and hasn’t been written on by the gift giver:

This is such a cute idea!! Now I have to figure out where to use these great things!
I wonder if you could use the same idea using card stock or old Christmas cards and use them for next year’s gift card holders??
Thanks for the great idea!!
