Given the current business scenario, it is of utmost importance that you have a business card holder to keep your business cards safe and protected. Whether you are a professional, or a self promoter, having a business card holder for storing your business cards really helps. Business card holders come in many shapes and designs, and you can choose whatever suits you the best, per your business requirements. If you spend a few minutes from your time, and let your creative juices flow, you can as well make your own business card holder which is uniquely yours, designed by none other than you. Making business card holders is no rocket science, and flaunting business card holders which you have made is a big thing.
Fabric Business Card Holder

To begin with, choose a fabric, which is designed the way that you would like it to be - either trendy, or plain. Also, try to find some scrap material which might have been left over from other projects. Alternately, you could even get yourself a fat quarter, in case you are planning to go to your local fabric outlet.. You can also find some fabric stores which would be selling out the different size pieces which they already have cut or are remainders from the bolt that  have rolled up. You can get these as well. After you have got the fabric, you can then create your own pattern, with the help of a piece of paper, a pencil, an eraser, and a ruler.

Cut out a rectangular shape, after having measured it as 4 inches wide and 9 inches long. CUt out this rectangular shape. Then, fold the rectangle made of paper into three equal portions. At one of the three ends, take a can, and curve both the edges. Then, trim the curved edges which you have made out on the paper. Next, pin up the pattern that you would like for your card holder, and then cut it out accordingly. To do this, you would require one piece of fusible interfacing, and two pieces of fabric. Ensure that you have placed the shiny side of the interfacing down on the fabric, and then fuse the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric. Stitch around the fabric along its right sides.

While stitching it this way, make sure you have left around one to two inches of opening at the bottom of the fabric. After this stitching is over, turn the right side out, and stitch all the closed opening. After this, press the fabric with a hot iron, and fold the fabric into three parts. Then, pin up the bottom section of the fabric, so that it holds the fabric, and you are able to stitch down both the sides. Then, use a sew on the snap, and place one side of it in the center of the bottom portion of your card holder, and then stitch it all along the right place. After having done this, stitch the other half of the snap to the inner side of the top flap, so that it is in a position to connect with the lower portion of the snap. Your card holder is now ready to be used.
