The template for this gift card holder comes as a single SVG cut file, and can be found in my Etsy shop.

To make one, you will need:

* Poinsettia Teapot Gift Card Holder template (available as an SVG cut file)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Craft glue

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the gift card holder, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : When attaching the green leaf pieces, carefully line up the base so that it’s just up from the teapot base.

TIP 2 : Gently curl the red poinsettia leaves upwards, then offset the layers like this to give them added dimension.

TIP 3 : When attaching the back piece, only apply glue to the top part (the lid and rim section).

TIP 4 : Fold the base tab in half and apply glue to the last part only so that it attaches to the base of the teapot piece.

Once assembled, your little poinsettia teapot gift card holder is ready to go and, because it folds flat, it can easily be popped into an envelope for posting!
