How to Make a Birthday Money Card Holder Box

Choose two different pieces of paper with contrasting colors or patterns (e.g., purple and yellow or striped paper with white paper). Trim one sheet to 6 by 11 inches. This will act as the exterior of the card. Fold the card in thirds, approximately every 3 2/3 inches.
Trim the top third of the sheet into a triangle with the paper lying vertically beginning one inch from the top fold. The top of the sheet should end in a centered point. This will give the card an envelope-like look when closed.
Cut the second piece of paper into a 6 inches by 3 2/3 inches rectangle. Cut a triangle out of the rectangle so that this sheet is an opposite mirror of the first triangle. Glue the edges of this piece to the center section of the 6 by 11 sheet. The base of this smaller sheet should line up with the center fold. This creates an envelope effect and this is the space in which you can place either the money or gift card.
Close the card and mark where the tip of the envelope meets the bottom of the card. Cut a small slit about 2 cm. above this mark. When the card is completed you will slip the tip of the card into this slit to keep it closed.
Poke two holes below the top fold each spaced a ½ inch from the edges of the card. String a piece of ribbon from the outside to the inside of the card through the hole and tie a small knot inside. Add beads onto the ribbon if desired and string second of string through the second hole and tie inside as well. This allows the card to hang or be carried by the ribbon.
