\"Crochet

Brought to you by American Yarns<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Are you giving gift cards or cash this year for Christmas? You can still add a bit of handmade charm to your gift by crocheting these Mini Present Pockets to put them in. Embellished with a bow, just like a real parcel, these Gift Card Holders look great hung up on a tree as an ornament or even tied onto a bigger gift as a gift tag – just slip a piece of paper with the recipients name into the pocket.<\/p>\n

If you are super organised, get started on next years advent calendar and make 24 to hang on a tree or branch. Add little treats and activity ideas to each pocket. What a fun idea!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used Lily Sugar\u2019n Cream<\/a> from American Yarns<\/a> for this project. There are several festive colour combinations in the range and I’ve chosen the classic, red, green, and white of Ombre Mistletoe which pools into a spiral around the pouch.<\/p>\n

Other fun colourways to try would be Ombre Azalea<\/span> (Red & White like a candy cane) or Stripes Holiday<\/span> (pictured below).<\/p>\n

Of course this is a perfect project for using up leftover yarn and ribbon scraps. Have fun making Gift Card Holders in a rainbow of your favourite colour combinations.<\/p>\n
