    • Fashion a cardboard pocket at the back


  • Turn the card to the back and cut another piece of card, taping it along the sides and the bottom to act like a real pocket.

    • Make a stand for the card


  • Slide a handkerchief image into the pocket.

  • Cut a longish piece of card and mark it roughly into thirds for a stand. Make another mark near the end for a joining tab.


    • Tape the stand together

    • Attach stand to card

    • Finishing touches and youre done


  • Cut the text image into a tag shape and thread the key and tag together with string or a rubber band.

  • Make a couple of small cuts near one of the top corners to hold the tag and key.

    • If you want, add a 'real' present like a hanky or pen or keyring to the pocket. If you have a 'heavy-ish' present, just make your stand wider.
