Gift card holder

Keep your holiday correspondence in style with tessellated card holders. After students each select a piece of bright construction paper, show them how to fold one edge over to create a 3" pocket and staple the edges. Then have students trace many copies of a 2" triangle onto gift wrap and cut out. Students can arrange their triangle shapes into unique designs and glue in place. To hang, punch holes in the top corners, and thread with matching yarn or ribbon.
