paper tube girft card holder

Sometimes I think of an idea an I just have to try it that second. Like these....

There are a ton of ideas for using paper tubes out there! But one day I wondered if I flatten a tube out and sew along the edges, would a gift card or business card fit inside?

Well, it did! And I love the way it turned out. Of course, I had to embellish it!

Just take a paper tube, Cut it down if needed. Flatten it.

Use a zigzag stitch around three sides.

Added a little ruffle.

Cut a strip of fabric on the bias to make a ruffle.

I used one of my circle punches to punch out the tube so it is easier to grab the card.

And stamped a message.

Easy!
