How do you wrap a gift card? Gift cards can be a great choice to give to someone who loves to shop, but they sure don't look like much on Christmas morning. So here is what I did for a gal who has a great fondness for turtles. First I did this doodle.
From my fabrics, I selected this terrific print but my hand painted blue fabric seemed "too" blue so I overdyed it with a bit of green textile paint to tone it down.
After printing the turtle in a few sizes onto a sheet of TAP, they were then transferred to the new fabric.
Bubbles and wavy line quilting worked great.
here is the finished bag that the gift card was tucked into.

Is that a bag with a tape measure as the closer? Whatever it is, I love it. The turtles are wonderful.
What a stunning bag and super way to present a gift card! You'd have to let the receiver know there is something inside as who would expect anything more than this gorgeous bag?!
My GOSH!
I'll buy a gift card and send it to you to send back to me in a bag like that! ;-D
