Ruby Star Wrapping: Gift card wallets.

I saw these gift cards wallets from the Ruby Star wrapping book and decided to make a couple of them to enclose some gift cards that I had purchased for Christmas presents.
Rather than using laminated  paper like in the book, I choose some masculine fabrics to make these for my brother and father - some Echo and a print from the Denyse Schmidt Aunt Edna range. They will be now able to use them afterwards to keep business or loyalty cards in.
The cards fit in perfectly - tied up with a bit of baker's twine and now they are just right for gift giving. I really need to make a whole bunch of these ready to use as last minute gift card holders next year!
Linking up to the Ruby Star Wrap-Along and with the Ruby Star Wrapping Contest at Sew Mama Sew and also to the Monday Link up with Beth at Plum and June.

Awesome! I hadn't even remembered this was in the book - and here I adapted one of the other patterns for my gift cards. I need a couple more so I may try this one & compare!

These look fabulous, and a great idea for a gift card, as well as for use afterwards. : )
