Triple Threat: Ornament, Gift Label, Gift Card Holder


Triple Threat! Gift Tag, Gift Card holder, Ornament

Every Christmas I try to come up with new and creative ways to label my gifts, this year was no different! I grabbed these extra Starbucks cups from an office meeting where we’d order a large amount of coffee from the blessed coffee house. My first use was to make an ornament out of it for the office Christmas tree. We work shift work, including midnight shifts, so coffee holds a special place in all our hearts. This was the end result.




After making this ornament I realized I could use it not only to label my Christmas gifts, but it would also hold the Starbucks gift card I had gotten them.



Here's what you'll need:
  • ·      Starbucks cup & lid
  • ·      Push pin
  • ·      Ribbon
  • ·      Marker
  • ·      Gift card (optional)




Step 1: Punch two holes side-by-side in the middle of the lid using the push pin




Step 2: Cut 6-8 inches of ribbon (I use thin ribbon) and thread a loop through the hole just made.
Note: I say 6-8 inches because it will give you enough room to make the knot and allow you to decide how low you want the ornament to hang


                            

Step 3: Tie a knot so the ribbon won’t slip out



Step 4: Place Gift card (optional) in the cup, close the lid and write their name on it!
I used a little more ribbon to tie the ornament/gift card holder/label to the gift bag/present.





Merry Christmas!!
