I have made these small card holders which could be put together using silk ties remnants, or 2inch squares. I just used a fat quarter. The pattern used I posted on my blog. It is basically only 2 main pieces with a divider and small single card pocket (which would be great for adding a gift card in). They take only about 20 minutes to make. I think I might make a few and add a Tim Hortons coffee card in it for teachers gifts this year.
