How to Make a Washi Tape Gift Card Holder
Today, I will show you how to make these quick and easy gift card holders.
I don’t know about you, but I love to give gift cards. Sometimes, that is all I give; sometimes, I pair them with fun little goodies.
But the gift card holders you receive from the store with the card are not all that exciting. Especially if I am giving just a gift card, I want it to be presented in a fun or pretty way.
Supplies:
- Tags
- Washi Tape – various colors and styles
- Twine or Ribbon
- Scissors (optional)
Choose Washi Tape
To start, choose the washi tapes you want to use.
I used about 5 to 6 different styles per tag. You could easily modify the tag’s design using one style of washi tape or two coordinating styles.
Cut Tag
Once you select your washi tapes, line them up side to side. Use this as a guide to cut your first tag. You want to cut off the top portion that has the hole.
Wrap Tags with Washi Tape
Now, starting on the backside of the whole tag, you will wrap your washi tape along the bottom edge. When you reach the front, match your cut tag with the whole tag.
Continue wrapping your washi tape around the tag and overlap the ends on the back side. You can either rip the tape or cut it to make a cleaner edge.
By wrapping your washi tape around both layers of tags, you are creating a pocket.
Continue wrapping your washi tape around the two pieces of tag until you reach the top of the cut tag.
Note: You may need to trim a little excess off the top of the cut tag if your washi tape doesn’t exactly meet the top edge. Now, you can add a piece of twine or ribbon to the top hole of the tag. Slide your gift card in, and you are ready to give.

You can coordinate your tapes to match your gift card or the theme of your gift. It is a fun and easy way to use up some of those washi tapes you have been collecting!

So cute. I’d like to make these with Christmas tapes, make the hanging tape a bit longer, knot it, and call it a great gift card holder/Christmas tree ornament. It would be great to keep those little cards from getting lost in wrapping paper!
