🎨 How to Make an Apple Printable Gift Card Holder
- Download and Print Your Template
Print the apple design onto cardstock for a sturdy and professional look.
If you are looking for a great printer to use – I love my HP! I wrote up a whole post why The reasons I love the printer. This post also shows how you can make sure you are getting the best prints by adjusting your settings!
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PRINTER: You can also upload the files to staples or office max and have them print them! Sometimes the local library has a printer for public use!
- Cut Out the Apple Shape
Carefully cut around the edges of the apple.
- Glue back to apple
Using a glue stick, add some glue around the edges of the apple to make a pocket. The back piece is slightly smaller than the front piece to prevent any need for trimming.
- Attach Gift Card
Using a piece of tape or a glue dot, add the gift card to the “core”. You don’t want the gift card to cover any of the red part because then it will be visible.
- Assemble
Slide in the core piece into the red apple pocket. When it’s closed, it looks like a red apple. Pull up the top- hidden gift card!
