Free Gift Card Holder Sewing Pattern

Learn how to make a gift card holder with a free sewing pattern. These look like Christmas tags and can hold a gift card or tiny card and envelope!

It’s hard to admit but sometimes the best gift is a gift card. Especially for those people in your life who have everything or don’t know what they want.

Make the gift card more exciting by making a gift card holder with this free sewing pattern. You can use any quilting cotton fabric, and I used glitter fabric to make it more eye-catching. If you don’t want to add a gift card you can add a really nice note in a mini envelope for a heartwarming gift.

Isn’t the glitter fabric fun? I just think it’s so pretty. It would be so fun to hang next to a stocking or taped onto a gift. It makes a great ornament too!

What is a PDF sewing pattern?

A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.

I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!

Pin the pattern to the fabric and cut out the pieces.

You’ll cut out two tag pieces and one rectangle piece. Make sure to cut the notches.

Cut out interfacing for all three pattern pieces and apply the interfacing to the back of the fabric.

Fold the rectangle in half matching up the notches. Finger press the fold.

Pin the pocket to one of the tag pieces matching up the notches.

Baste around the three sides of the pocket 1/8 inch from the edge.

Pin the tag pieces right sides together matching up the corners and notches.

Sew around the sides with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Backstitch when you start and stop, and leave a 2 inch hole for turning.

Trim off the notches and trim all the corners.

Turn the tag right side out. Poke out all the corners with a point turner.

Pinch the hole closed and pin it.

Edgestitch around the edges and sew the hole closed. Sew a 1/4 inch diameter circle at the top of the tag.

Cut a circle in the fabric inside the stitched circle.

Cut a piece of ribbon or cord. Loop it through the hole and tie it.

Add your gift cards or mini envelopes to the pocket to finish the gift!
