Using Gift Cards for Gift Wrapping with Recycled Items

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and today I am showing you how to make a little envelope for a gift card. Again, and now we are going to go to the corner which is on a diagonal. Then when we are all done weaving it like this, we are just going to make sure that we are going to straighten all of the edges out so it looks nice and neat. Alright, and now I have about three more, and again it's under, and then you pull it through like that, make sure your ribbon is straight when you feed it back so that it doesn't get tangled and you put it through there, pull it through. And if your ribbon gets twisted you can just untwist it, it's very easy. This is a very small perimeter so it's pretty easy to keep a hold of. And there you go, it's all pieced together. Then you are just going to tie it with a bow at the top, like that, and if you want to hang anything else from the bow that's fine. You can trim up, I am going to do that bow one more time, and then you can trim up your ribbon and it will look very nice and neat. There you go, it's a little bow. I have a little extra length there, I am going to cut it and then you just slip your gift card in there and there you have a very cute, homemade, personalized envelope for a gift card that was fun and easy to make.
