Fabric Card Tutorial

I love handmade cards,

and I make them for almost every occasion,

but I found myself in a bit of a rut.

{I'm not the most crafty paper person, I can admit it}

so I decided to turn to my sewing machine for a little inspiration!

{she never lets me down!}

This is incredibly easy,

and doesn't even require a step by step tutorial,

but I had fun making this, and took lots of pictures,

so I thought I'd write one up anyway!

First things first,

gather your supplies!

You'll need scissors, a card, some scrap fabric and sewing machine
{needle and thread will totally work too!}

Next, cut your fabric into strips,
and arrange them on the card!
{seriously, this is where you can get creative...any color, pattern, design...you name it!}

And then,
{you guessed it}
you sew those bad boys down!
{I sewed a line right down the middle, but please, do whatever your heart desires!}

Now you have a super cute card with little fabric ears...and that's not really flattering...
So...

Snip them off :)

{well, unless you like them...then leave 'em}

And...TaDa!

You've created a custom card!

But...I still think it's missing a little special something...

So I added a ruffle!
{duh!}

and Voila!
The finished product!
{I forgot to take a picture once I snipped off the extra ruffle fabric, but I think you get the idea}

I promise you that whoever receives this card will
LOVE the fact that you gave them something personal,
and handmade.

So go ahead...create one, or 7...
{they're a little addicting}
you've been warned :)


happy crafting!
