Before you upload the SVGs to Design Space, you need to unzip the download folder that they comes in.

Step 2) Upload the SVG files into Design Space

Open up Cricut Design Space and upload the files.

Make sure you upload the files which starts svg- in the filename!!

This is how they should look after you select the file:

After uploading, the designs will show in your “Recently Uploaded Images”. Click on the one you want to make and then press “Add to Canvas” to put it onto your Project.

Step 3) Check the size and resize or recolour if needed

The design should load in at 4 inches wide and 5 inches tall.

If it doesn’t, resize it to match.

You can resize the gift card if you want to make it larger or smaller.

You can also recolour it to see how different colours look. This can be great for helping you decide what colour card to cut them from!

Step 4) Cut the money holder design

Click “Make It” to begin the cutting process.

You can change the paper size using the dropdowns on the left of the page.

I like to rotate the shapes around so that they don’t use up so much of my cardstock.

Follow the on-screen instructions to get both pieces of the money holder cut with your Cricut.

I like to use glitter card, metallic card or holographic card for the bottom piece for a little bit of extra sparkle!

Step 5) Stick the money holder together

Fold the two semi-circle cutouts upwards.

This is where you will slot the money.

Glue the front of the money holder onto the back piece, leaving a thin border of the back colour all the way around the edge.

Be careful not to put glue on the slots that you folded upwards!

Finally, tightly roll up your money note and thread it through the slots.

It will naturally expand to fill the gap when you let go, which holds it securely in place without needed to stick it.

And there you have it – graduation money holders, done!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make money holders with a Cricut.

I love how quick they are to make, and they’re great for using up your card scraps too!

Happy crafting,
