I love to give gifts that have multiple purposes and uses! I created this gift card holder to look like a purse with a pretty flower on the outside. The recipient will receive a useful gift card to their favorite store PLUS the flower is removable and able to be worn as a brooch!

- 9” x 12” craft cuts Kunin™ Eco-Fi™ Rainbow Classicfelt™ in Lagoon (1)
- 9” x 12” craft cuts Kunin™ Eco-Fi™ FanciFelt™ in Charcoal Grey (1)

Instructions:
1. Measure, mark and cut 9” x 12” Kunin™ Eco-Fi™ FanciFelt™ Charcoal Grey in half, vertically to create the gift card holder base. Round corners of felt with scissors. Measure and mark at 4 ½” and 9” along length of felt.
2. Cut Tattered Florals Die twice from Kunin™ Eco-Fi™ Rainbow Classicfelt™ Lagoon.
3. Stack 2 large, 1 medium and 1 small flower together, insert pin through center and secure.
4. Attach turquoise ribbon vertically to center inside section of gift card holder with hot glue gun. Cover with extra small Tattered Florals flower to give a finished look. Place gift card in center of ribbon and tie in a bow to secure.
