Use these free Christmas chapstick money cards to create an easy DIY last minute Christmas gift. The templates are so easy to use. They’ll turn the simple gift of giving money into something more special.
These chapstick money holders are super popular in all of the Cricut and Silhouette groups. They are being used for all sorts of occasions – weddings, birthdays, graduations, and more.
If you are looking for a birthday version, I created this birthday chapstick money holder card.
What Do the Free Christmast Chapstick Money Cards Look Like?
There are 3 different designs included in this set of free printables.
The first set is a simple dark green Merry Christmas card design.
Second is this adorable Ho Ho Ho gingerbread design.
Lastly, there are 3 Santa Claus options. You have 3 skin tone options included in this printable set. I love that it looks like Santa is telling you what the amount of money is inside of the holder.
Do you Need a Craft Machine to Make the Christmas Chapstick Money Holder Template?
No, you do not need a craft machine. You can print the design out and cut it by hand. Just use a hole punch to punch out the white hole up at the top.
If I want to use a Craft Cutting Machine, Can I?
Yes, you can use a Silhouette machine (such as a Silhouette Cameo) or a Cricut Machine (such as a Cricut Maker) or any craft machine that can cut PNG files. Since they are PNG files, they will automatically create cut lines.
What type of Paper Should I Print on?
It depends on your method and how thick you would like your chapstick holder to be. Here are your two options.
1 – The Simple Cardstock Option
In this method, you print the design on thick card stock. This is the method I used to create my own money holder. It is a little flimsier than the second option but it is still great for a gift.
2 – The Multi-Layered Process
In this version, you’ll print the file on a piece of sticker paper or printable vinyl. Then, you’ll adhere the full sheet of the design onto a chipboard or kraft board and cut it out or use an Exacto knife.
If you want to use Print and Cut, you’ll need to print the sticker on sticker paper. Then, you will adhere the entire sheet of sticker paper onto the chipboard or kraft board.
Then, you’ll load the chipboard or kraft board onto the mat. And you’ll use a knife blade and the settings to match the thickness of your material.
This method will produce a much more formal-looking, complete look. It just depends on the type of look you are going for.
Where Can you Get the Chapstick Plastic Bubbles?
The chapstick plastic bubbles go in and out of stock often. When they are in stock, you can purchase the plastic bubbles online.
Do You Just Need One or Two Plastic Bubbles?
Don’t worry, there is a backup option. You can purchase a single chapstick from Dollar Tree!
How Do I Use a Dollar Tree Chapstick Bubble?
Gently remove the plastic bubble from the backing. Do not use a hairdryer – I tested this. It melted the plastic, and it did not help the adhesive come off.
Instead, soak the bottom part of the plastic bubble in a thin layer of Goo Gone or Acetone.
After it soaks for a bit, you can scrape the adhesive right off!
What Dollar Amounts are Available in the Cards?
There are multiple dollar amounts available. There is also a blank balloon that lets you put in any amount you’d like.
- $10
- $15
- $20
- $25
- $30
- $40
- $50
- Blank
