Yarn Snowball – A Creative Way To Give Gift Cards
Gift Cards are one of the most appreciated gifts. They are easy to purchase but can be a bit boring to give. If you are looking for a creative way to give gift cards, check out the yarn snowball!
In the past, I have put together Christmas Snowballs for family members but needed to come up with something new. That led me to buy cozy chenille yarn and wrapping it around gift cards to make giving gift cards a little more exciting (be sure to check for gift card scams)!

- Cozy Chenille Yarn – Any white yarn would probably do. I like the texture and softness of the cozy chenille yarn.
- Gift Card – Purchase a gift card you know the recipient will use.
- Christmas Snowball Tag – You can also print the tags on kraft card stock for a more rustic look!
- Scissors – To cut the tags and yarn.
- Hole Punch – To hole punch the tags.
How To Make A Yarn Snowball With A Gift Card
- Tie the yarn around the gift card and then wrap the yarn around the gift card until it forms a ball.
- Tuck the tail underneath another piece of yarn so it doesn’t unravel on its own, leaving about 8-12″ for the tag.
- Attach the tag and tie a bow.
You could place the yarn snowball in a Clear 5″ x 11″ Treat Bag or wrap it, in a box! Then, wait for Christmas and watch the excitement of unwrapping the snowball to see what’s inside!
Every Christmas I try & find a clever way to give cash/gift card, to my older grandkids! I chose the “snowball” this year!

This week, the band my son is in, Stargazy Pie, spent a lot of time at our house getting ready for their next album and celebrating Christmas together.
We gifted them with a Sweetwater gift card but, of course, I couldn’t just stick the gift card in an envelope. That would be boring. Instead, I wrapped it in yarn, put it in a box, wrapped the box, and then put that box inside two more wrapped boxes. Check out these Unique Ways To Give Gift Cards At Christmas for more ideas to give gift cards in a less boring way!
If you want to see it all unfold, you can see it on my TikTok here, and here is a compilation of yarn snowballs being gifted to multiple people!
