Business Card Holder?

[dana-knockouts.livejournal.com]

Hi all,

My office does a craft/second hand secret santa every year. My co-worker's father just died so I offered to take care of her secret santa gift, which I have to make tonight. (For our boss, who is female.)

She suggested a business card holder. Can anyone recommend any ideas or tutorials? She was thinking of making it out of card stock, but I was thinking a faux suede might hold up better. Of course, I don't have a sewing machine, but I'm pretty good at hand stitching.

Thank goodness I work in an area with tons of fabric/bead/findings stores!

Any help is much appreciated.

Also, it's not letting me tag this. Sadface

Thanks everyone! I whipped up a business card holder last night, and it looks pretty good. This comm is awesome!

Keychains

Hello again! I recently made a few small presents for friends that I wanted to share the results of with you guys.

I made two keychains. Both pieces are made from blank pieces of copper that I etched, patina-ed, and for the leaf to get the color I used a torch.

Applique??

I need help and thought you all would be able to help me out.
I purchased a Bucilla Sugar Plum Fairy Stocking Felt Applique Kit for my daughter to make her a stocking.

http://www.amazon.com/Bucilla-Sugar-Stocking-Applique-18-Inches/dp/B000W7FZGK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I pulled it out tonight to work on it, and it says to use the "red packaged needle" for putting thee sequins on and the "orange packaged needle" for doing the applique. Well it only came with a brown packaged needle and a blue packaged needle (neither of which the pattern calls for).

So i'm thinking maybe they just switched up the colors?

The brown needle is shorter and fatter with a bigger eye...while the blue one is longer by just a little bit, but is definitely skinnier and has a smaller eye.

This is the first stocking kit i've done (and really the first applique that I followed a kit for...heh) so I don't want to mess it up. Does it matter what needle I use??

Thanks so much.
