Business card holder with own hands

A business card holder is not just a functional thing, but also a stylish accessory that emphasizes the individuality of its owner. This is especially true for needlewomen, because a business card made by own hands reflects not only artistic abilities and aesthetic preferences, but also the inner world as a whole. You can make your business card "from scratch" by sewing it from fabric or leather, or you can decorate a ready-made thing bought in the store.

We bring to your attention some unusual instructions how to make a business card with your own hands.

How to sew a "cheerful" business card from the remnants of fabric?

We need the following blanks:

• two rectangles of fabric 10.5 by 12.5. You can take a different fabric, because one piece is for the front side, the other for the purl;
• two pieces of cloth, measuring 5.5 by 12.5;
• a piece of fleece 10.5 by 12.5;
• button;
• scrunchy.

Progress:

1. Two small pieces of cloth are pushed from the long side twice with 5 mm each and we spread it.
2. Next, take a large piece of cloth, which is conceived as the inner side and from both sides pin it to pieces small.
3. On top put the second piece of fabric face down and fleece. We prick pins around the perimeter.
4. In the middle of one of the parties we place rubber. The workpiece is ready.
5. We lay out on each side, leaving a small not sewn site in order to turn the product out.
6. Turn out and straighten the corners with a pencil.
7. Let's exfoliate the product and once again we will sew on the perimeter machine.
8. Another stitch will be placed in the middle of the cardholder.
9. We sew the button in such a way that the cardholder fastens.
10. A wonderful handmade businesswoman is ready.

Decoupage of business cardholders

Having shown a little imagination, you can transform a completely dull thing. In our case, this is an ordinary gift card for bank customers with a card inside. It's boring, is not it? In order to change it beyond recognition, turning it into a stylish accessory, we will need:

• Lacquer silicone for decoupage;
• acrylic paints and pearlescent pigment;
• napkins with a pattern;
• a piece of lace;
• glue;
• scissors;
• brushes.

Progress:

1. The inner side, on which the map is applied, is slightly undercoated and pasted with a double layer of napkin. Thus, we absolutely hide the original drawing and get a pattern, not only on the surface of the top layer, but through the image on the previous layer.
2. From the top we cover with a varnish in which it is possible to add a little gold paint and nacre.
3. Degrease the external surface of the cardholder and cover with two salts of white paint.
4. Top with a glue napkin.
5. In our case, the size of the napkin was not large enough to cover the entire cover of the cardholder. Therefore, the remaining edge is covered with a brown-gold paint.
6. At the junction with the glue the lace tape, previously painted with gold paint. From above all this beauty is covered with varnish.
7. Inward paste files for business cards and the product is ready.

Such a businesswoman will also be a great gift made by her own hands.
