DIY Business / Gift Card Holders ~ Tutorial Soon too!

I did manage to fix the business / gift card holder from a week or so ago where my snap pliers put a lovely hole into my fabric, stabilizer and all.  I had them ready for Easter, I just hadn't posted the pictures here yet.  

I first used Velcro that I sewed on in place of the snaps, then covered the hole and my outside stitching by adding an appliqued circle to it. Sorry this picture is a bit blurry, I didn't know until it was uploaded today and I already passed it on as a gift to a close friend.  I will be posting a tutorial on these great quick gifts soon!
The above picture shows the inside view of the card holder.  In the future if not already sewn together, I can do it in a way you wouldn't have to see the circle of applique that you currently see.

One more I made, just the opposite with the bright colors on the outside and a cute green button covering up any stitches from adding the plastic snap to the inside.  The pic was quickly taken when I had it ready to be mailed to a different friend of mine.

Did I mention, Spring is here!!!  It was in the 80's today!  Whewwww hooooo, bring it on Spring!  I am ready!  =)

  1. Your card holder is sew cute! Much nicer than the one I made for myself. Clever to use velcro to close with and the applique circle looks like it was part of the original plan. Great job!

    1. Thanks a bunch Lorna! It worked out well, since you know how it had a hole in it before...but my friend wouldn't know unless she saw it here on my blog =)

  2. Found this while searching for a business card holder. Not really what I was expecting, but clever. Now I have to rethink my preconceptions about what a business card holder should look like!
