Gift giving is at the heart of Christmas, and while the thought truly matters more than the price tag, sometimes you want to give something heartfelt that stays within budget—or maybe add an extra personal touch to a present you’ve already prepared. A handmade gift card is the perfect solution!
While you can purchase Christmas gift cards from stores in various designs and sizes, today’s project gives you a personalized, handmade option. This DIY Christmas gift card features a hand-drawn watercolor Christmas tree on the front—but don’t worry, you don’t need to be an expert at painting or drawing. Using a simple hack with washi tape, you can create a perfectly shaped tree every single time.

Imperfections aren’t a problem either—your tree will look beautiful no matter how thick or bold your brush strokes are. You can even play with colors to give each card a unique, personalized touch, especially if you plan to make several for different loved ones. To add extra sparkle and elegance, rhinestones are used to accent the design, giving your card a fancy, professional look.
The best part? The recipient will instantly notice the effort and care you put into making it by hand. Handmade touches like this bring extra love to any gift, making your present feel even more special and memorable.
