Last week I mentioned something about the felt projects I’ve been so into and today, I will finally show you one of the few felt projects that I’ve been doing.

But before that, I think a little introduction on why I chose this little project is in order. :)

A friend of mine posted this on her wall on Facebook:

The first five people to respond via comment to this post will get something made by me. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully.

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It’ll be done sometime this year (2010).
4. I will not give you any clue about what it will be. It will be something made in the real world and not something cyber.
5. I reserve the right to make anything
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text into a note of your own and make five things for the first five to respond to your note. (If you already did this, that can count too.)…
IMPORTANT: This offer is null and void if I do not see you post your own note to pay this forward

Long story short, I joined the chain and this was the first project I did for two people who commented on my post. :) They were Gino and Mr. Snuggles and since they’re practically like the “wonder twins” (I think they refer to these superhero twins because they both have similarly acquired such amazing physique! lol) I thought I’d give them something twin-ish. :)

Here’s what the two received:

Download FREEBIE: Felt Card Holder Pattern

Now, onto some tutorial!

1. Start by downloading the Felt Card Holder Pattern and print the file on an 8.5 x 11 inch plain paper.

2. Cut out the pattern and use it as a cutting guide for your felt

3. For each pattern, cut two pieces of felt (one for the front and one for the back)

4. Layer them all (just like the photo below) and sew on all three sides, leaving the top area open.

It’s that easy!

Now they have a small card holder with a partition in the middle for some cash. I told the boys they could use these when they go to the nearby market or somewhere they’d rather not bring their whole wallet. :)
