Gift card holder for a special little girl. The holder is from one site and the Santa is from another.

That is cute, I love the pinked edges too, I wonder if it's possible to sharpen pinking shears? Mine are still nice but don't cut as good as they used to.

Mine are only bad in one place. Must have hit a pin with them. I think they can be sharpened. I just don't have anywhere near me to do it. I paid a fortune for the ones I have. Got a second pair at a thrift store. UCK

Its possible to improve the cut on pinking shears by cutting through some aluminium foil. Not sure who passed this tip on but further details can be got through a search engine. Mine cut very much better after trying this out

A gift card holder that will certainly stay in the receivers possession to tug other little objects in. Good job. .

This cute. Santa thought she was really special and is personally visiting her with her gift. Pinking shear edges are a great. Thanks for sharing. :-)

I like to "pink" my edges. Don't have to get as close to the stitching. And I do like the look. Just wish I had a better pair of shears.

When you find a really good pair let me know, mine seem to not work real well either. :-(

There is a pinking blade you can put on your rotary cutter and would be easily replaceable. Probably cheaper that new shears.

Wow will have to check this out as I've never heard of this one either. Thanks for sharing. :-)

She will love it. And if a ribbon is attached it can be an ornament for many years to come.
