20 joyful christmas gift card holder ideas – shape it like a stocking

Christmas stocking is as traditional as the tree, the lights and the decoration. We hang it with the hope that Santa Claus will fill it with presents for us. If you have to fill a stocking with some pleasant surprise gift why not keep the tradition and shape it like a stocking. Look at the Christmas gift card holder ideas – they are all easy to craft and you can be sure that your gift will be wrapped in a most pleasant way.

Traditions are a wonderful thing and these gift card holder ideas will help you craft a stocking in traditional colours using traditional elements. Red, white, green – keep to these colours as they are the first ones we associate with Christmas holiday season. The symbolic ornaments – jingle bells, mistletoe, poinsettia flower, candy canes – all of them can be used to decorate your gift card holder. Of course, you can adopt a contemporary approach and craft a stocking in any other colour. Decorate with silver or gold spray and add glittering stones, silver stars or snowflakes.

 

The easiest material to work with is paper, of course. You can use any winter holiday paper to cut out the shape of a stocking. Pieces of wallpapers or felt will come handy too. Some ordinary or hot glue will be of help. Use buttons, lace, ribbons and bows for decoration. If you are skilled in knitting or sewing our Christmas gift card holder ideas will show you beautiful examples of crafted stockings. Even if you think you are not that skilled, it is worth giving a try, because it will be your personal touch for your friends and family.
