On the eve of a holiday, we often wonder what to give to a friend, colleague or loved one. It would seem that all the essentials have long been presented. But there is always the opportunity to surprise and do something with your own hands.
For example, you can make a simple, but at the same time an exclusive gift - a stylish business card holder. Depending on the chosen skin color, such a gift can be presented to both a man and a woman.
Besides the fact that a leather business card holder is simply beautiful, it is also useful to those who have business cards scattered in different pockets. With such a card holder, all the necessary contacts and addresses will always be at hand.
The main stages of work
First you need to prepare a piece of leather of rectangular shape, suitable in size. Then you will need to cut off all the excess using a paper template for the sample. Which skin to use is up to you.
At the next stage of work, along the edges of the leather blank, it will be necessary to make identical holes located at an equal distance from each other. To do this, the master uses a special line punch.
At home, you can do with awl. However, you will need to make markings so that the thread seam is even, and does not wag in different directions. On the line of holes you need to remove the skin layer so that the thread does not protrude “knolls”.
You can flash both kapron and linen threads. If you use flaxseeds, then additionally process them with wax so that they better repel dirt. The sewing process itself is nothing complicated.
