Description

If you're not that organized and misplaced your cards most of the time, maybe you should get a card holder or sew one yourself. Here's an easy way to make one...

Instructions

  1. Small card holder size

    Draw a rectangle on your felt measuring 10" in length & 4 1/4" in width and cut it.

  2. Small card holder 009

    Using a pencil make a mark on each four corners of the felt. (From the bottom corner to the marked area = 2" ).

  3. Small card holder 008

    Fold your felt based on the drawn marks. Now you have a 2" high pocket. Do the same to the other side of the felt.

  4. Small card holder 007

    Fold the felt in half and press lightly with your fingers. It should look like this.

  5. Small card holder 016

    Before you start sewing, choose your favourite embellishment to beautify your otherwise bland looking felt. I'm going for a funky, fun & simple theme. So I chose a fabric yo-yo & wrote 'organizing junkie' on a piece of fabric. Make sure you use a waterproof, fabric friendly pen.

  6. Small card holder 006

    Sew your embellishments in place.

  7. Small card holder 005

    Pin the folded part in place. Sew around the edges a little less than 1/4" seam allowance.

  8. Small card holder 004

    The sewn felt should look like this.

  9. Small card holder pockets

    Here's the inside view of the pockets.

  10. Small card holder folded

    Fold your card holder in half again & this time press firmly with your fingers. Now you have a new funky card holder to house your cards.
