Monster Gift Card Holders

I am absolutely thrilled to have Melissa, from the Polka Dot Chair, visiting today to share her fun monster gift card holders. These little guys are stinking adorable and I know they would make my boys so happy!

DIY Monster Gift Card Holder

Hey there SNAP fans! My name is Melissa Mortenson and I blog over at the Polka Dot Chair. I’m very excited to be here sharing a great last minute gift idea for Christmas. I love giving gift cards for Christmas, but sometimes feel silly just putting them in a plain envelope.

Monster Gift Card Holder Tutorial

DIY Monster Gift Card Holder

I thought that these little Monster Gift Card Holders would be a fun alternative and make a cute little gift for a hard to buy for kid on your list this year. They are crazy simple to make. All you need is:

3″ x 8″ piece of cardstock

Scrap of White Cardstock

Googly Eyes

Double Sided Tape

A paper punch in a shape (mine was a hexagon but you could also use a triangle, circle or other fun shape)

DIY Monster Gift Card Holder

Begin by scoring the 3″ x 8″ card at 3″ along the long side of the card. Fold it up so that you have a piece of paper that is 3″ x 5″ when folded.

On the scrap of white paper draw zig zags for the monster teeth. Just do it by hand, it will be cuter if they are not perfect. Cut them out leaving about 1/2″ un cut on the bottom.

DIY Monster Gift Card Holder

Using double sided tape, tape the teeth onto the folded part of the card.

Then use the double sided tape to tape up the sides of the card.

Next punch out two hexagons and use the tape to adhere to the back of the card for the ears. For a final touch add 2 (or 3 or more) googly eyes to the top.

Just slip in the gift card and you’re done!

You can make them from all colors of paper and even add some crazy hair if you want!

    I have been looking for a card idea to work with a gal who is non verbal and autistic. She has a tuff time with her hand skills so she will love gluing the eyes and choosing the colors of the paper. Thank you for sharing.
