Business Card Holder

August 8, 2012 by Kaysi 2 Comments

This project was a total fail, when I first made it.  I made it to use for my phone for running and then the magnets were supposed to hold it onto my pants.  Well it didn’t work, so I ended up making this for my phone. 
It still was a cute little pouch, just didn’t work for my phone.  So I decided to put my business cards in it and it worked perfectly!!  So the fail turned into something good!

Here’s how I made it
I took some cute fabric from Hobby Lobby (I love all the new designs they are getting in!).  I cut four pieces, two were 6×7 inches, that will be the back and the flap.  And then two pieces 6×4 inches for the front.

I put the front facing each other and then sewed three of the four sides together.

Now for the magnet.  I put it onto the front piece and marked where I need to sew the fabric.  I just sewed the three sides.

Then I put the magnet into the hole and sewed the fourth side.

I did the same thing for the bigger piece, matching the magnet up with the other magnet to see where I needed to put it.  I place the magnet into the one side of the fabric that I didn’t sew up when I put the two pieces together.

Once the magnets were in, I sewed up the fourth side.

I then put the two pieces together, putting the fabric I wanted on the outside facing each other and then sewed the bottom and the two sides.

I flipped it inside out and then put my business cards into it.

And of course I had to have some ruffles onto it.  I just glued those on with a glue gun!business card holder (2)
