FREE Pattern Download: Easy, Last-Minute Ornament/Gift-Card Holder

Because they’re so quick and easy to make, these festive and versatile tree ornaments can help satisfy the “creative itch” that this oh-so-busy season may otherwise curtail. Fill them with a few sweet treats as a surprise find for little ones, or tuck a gift card, check, or other small gift item inside for the bigger kids on your list. Don’t be surprised if other family members want to get in on the act! In fact, this is a good activity for that long, out-of-school week before the holiday.
