Small Gift Containers (Tifany DeGough)

I know that the holiday season has come to a close, but that doesn't mean that you won't be wrapping gifts again sometime soon.

I thought it would be good to share a few ways to spruce up gift cards {or cash gifts} with hand crafted containers.


This is a gift bag featuring The Twinery's beautiful Peapod twine. Peapod was one of the first colors of Twinery twine that I owned and is one of my favorites.
{Who am I kidding? They are ALL my favorites!}

This bag is the perfect size to hold gift cards or cash - and would also be great for other small gifts. {You could arrange a gift basket using some brightly colored mugs and fill this handmade gift bag with a few tea bags or cocoa packets.}

This holiday themed gift box & bag set was created using The Twinery's Caribbean twine.

The box is a basic box shape just the right size for a gift card or cash, but would also be the perfect size to hold a smaller gift such as jewelry.

If you don't add many dimensional embellishments to the gift box you can tuck it into it's own matching bag. {The bag is the same size as the bag shown above using the Peapod twine.}

This Gift Card Topper Bag is finished off with some yummy Pink Sorbet twine from The Twinery.

This container is the perfect size for a gift card or cash.
