Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Snowflake Gifts Holder
Step 1: Preparing Your Materials
Start by gathering all the necessary materials. Choose cardstock colors that match the festive spirit—metallic shades, glitter finishes, or even patterned paper for added charm. Make sure your cutting machine is set up and ready to go.
Step 2: Cutting the Snowflake Design
Load the snowflake SVG or DXF file into your cutting machine software. Adjust the size if needed, but I recommend sticking to the 26 x 26 cm design for optimal proportions. Once you’re happy with the settings, let the machine do its magic. Watching the intricate snowflake design come to life is so satisfying!
Step 3: Attaching the Plastic Holders
Once the snowflake is cut, attach the plastic money holders to the designated slots on the snowflake. I use double-sided adhesive tape for a secure hold. Make sure each holder is aligned perfectly—this step ensures that the gifts are displayed neatly.
Step 4: Adding the Gifts into Plastic Holders
Flip the snowflake over and put small gifts into the plastic holders.
Step 4: Adding the Tear Strips
Adhere the back panel with tear strips. This feature adds an element of fun. Recipients will love peeling back the strips to reveal their tiny treasures.
Step 5: Final Touches
Add a ribbon or string to the top of the snowflake for hanging. You can also decorate the snowflake further with stickers, sequins, or hand-drawn designs. These little details make your gift holder even more special.
