Turn a gift card into a hand-made gift

The problem with gift cards is that they are very boring to open. No matter how welcome the money is, it's hard to get excited by a piece of plastic. This super easy pop-up card solves the problem: the plastic card slips right into a slot in the pop-up present. Your gift card will be wrapped in a pop-up gift-card!

Step 1 Preparation

You will need:

• Wrapping paper
• Small piece of ribbon
• White card stock
• Green card stock (optional)
• Tape and/or glue (note to contest moderator: this can be Krylon glue)
• Scissors
• 5 to 10 minutes

The wrapping paper should be fairly sturdy, and either a plain color or with a simple pattern which will work on a small scale (it won't look right if you just have a small portion of a giant Santa Claus, for example). Likewise your ribbon should be narrow.

An "After Eight" might work... if those chocolates still even exist. Someone should come up with a pop-up chocolate...

My mom once taped my Xbox Live card to the underside of a brick. So when I opened it up it looked like a brick but when I turned it around I got a card. I thought it was pretty clever and funny. Good 'ible!
