I couldn't remember at the time I posted this who I had gotten this terrific idea from...I CASED it and of course changed some things to make it my own. My inspiration came from juliemcampbell007. The measurements she gave were 4 1/4"x5 1/2" piece of card stock. I scored the cardstock at 1/2", and 2 1/2" along the 5 1/2" side. I added the grosgrain ribbon hanger to mine. I used the rectangle punch on the top part of the holder to thread the grosgrain ribbon through. It seemed to keep the top part of the holder shut just fine. You might want to add some monoadhesive (or velcro like julie did in hers)if you have people who will sneak a "peek" before it's time. I hope my instructions make some sense.
