Seeing as the holidays are swiftly approaching and I thought I'd whip up a Christmas Holiday themed project where you can utilize this project towards your own gift giving items. I love the idea of giving gift cards to those and offering them the liberty for them to choose their own gift. The idea of crafting a cute little holder to go with it, adds a little handmade touch, so it doesn't feel like you just handed over a card. So here is fun project that will only take a few minutes to make!
>>Scissors
>>3 Colors of Yarn/Red/Green/White all from Red Heart Yarn Super Saver Bundle
>>Yarn Sewing Needle
>>H/8-5.00MM
Crochet Techniques with abbreviations:
>>SC= Single Crochet
>>HDC=Half Double Crochet
>>SS=Slip Stitch
>>CH=Chain
>>DC=Double Crochet
