Package a flat little gift in a soft envelope that can later hold headphones, notes, or other small belongings. Gather a rectangle of craft felt, a needle, thread, and a fabric tie.

Set it up

Place the gift on the felt and fold the lower portion upward, leaving enough material above for a closing flap.

Put the idea to work

Stitch the two side edges by hand, keeping the flap free and checking that the opening remains wider than the gift.

Finish and keep it useful

Wrap a separate fabric tie around the closed envelope and add a removable tag explaining its possible second use. Keep needles accounted for and avoid making the pocket so tight that its contents stretch the seams.
