I saw your video so I tried couple and love how easy was to follow your directions. I’m making them for seniors, mentally challenged adult friends, and my grands. I put word out to my fb friends and at the thrift store I go to and I’ll have enough cd n dvd to keep me busy long time. Thank you
You are fantastic tutorial maker. Perfectly paced, explaining why AND why not to do things the way you do them. If I had these things I would definitely make them, for me it would be more expensive to make them than just buy a couple, but for people who have remnants, buttons, and upholstery thread this is a perfect "extra" gift or stocking stuffer.
I have just completed 4 of these little gems ready for smallish grandchildren we are taking on a canal boat holiday in 3 weeks time .wonderful tutorial thank you .
Fantastic! They’re so fun to make. You may want to make some cooling neckbands if you’re going somewhere really hot. Thanks for watching. th-cam.com/video/Y9K86mzmmu0/w-d-xo.html
Woooow. I've never thought of making card holders but these are beautiful! I'll make some for my dad, he loves playing cards with his friends. Just gotta find some CDs. Thrift shops, here I come!
What a wonderful idea! I was playing cards the other day with my 5 year old granddaughter and she had a terrible time holding her cards. I’m making one of these today! Thank you Angela, this is so clever, as usual.
I think you’ll enjoy making them. It’s quite fun. Maybe she can help you pick out the fabric and buttons.😊. I’m going to make some with Frozen themed fabric I have left over from mask making. Cheers!
I made 3 of these today. I’m taking them to visit my 2 granddaughters (one is 5 and one is 12) and surprise them when we pull out the Old Maid game. They are going to love it!
What a great idea. I’d use that, as I have limited use of my fingers, and pain, so it would great to be able to play cards without making my hands hurt! ❤️❤️It’s also a good way of recycling old CDs and DVDs! ❤️❤️
Thank you for such a complete and easy to follow tutorial! I just completed my first one. 😊 I discovered a coffee filter is the perfect pattern for the fabric. 💕
Peeeerfect thing!! We have been looking for something for my mother in law! She has a hard time holding cards after her stroke, this is absolutely perfect Angela! thanks!
Hi! A couple of my Aunts and I get together frequently and play cards. One of them has been dealing with hand pain. When I saw this I thought, EUREKA! I just made a couple using a cute dog fabric (we all have dogs and love them unconditionally 🐾) with a coordinating fabric on the back. They turned out beautifully!!🤗 Thank you ever so much for this practical and easy pattern. Think I'm going to make a few more 😁!
Unfortunately, I don't sell these items, so I'm unable to provide specific pricing advice. I recommend calculating your material and labor costs to determine a price that ensures a profitable outcome for you
Thank you for sharing! I’ve made a few of these and I’m wondering if there might be a way to sew with 2 pieces of fabric front and back without having to gather at the end… any ideas? You are so creative maybe you can think of a way.
You would be making it way more difficult as you would need to add a seam around the edges and still need an opening to insert it. This is the simplest way with clean edges and the gathered fabric holds the cards in nicely.
there are lots of “ how to make flower with ribbon “ videos but I want to make one with just 1 or 2 pieces of scrap fabric and not having to sew multiple pieces together.
Love these! Made some over the weekend and they are so cute. My only problem is that the cards get hung up on the gathers. Any tips on making them flatter? Or am I the only person that has had that problem? 🤷 Thanks!
Not sure if cardboard would hold up to the constant handling and you would also need to take the time to cut into correct shape. Ask friends and family and local charity shops for unwanted old cd’s, dvd’s
@@NotchesSewing thanks for your reply. My bobbin is installed properly. I have an older Bernina Record. It’s not digital. My top stitch tension is merely a dial with a “+” and “-“…. I’ve tried adjusting that without any luck..?
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I have the right thread and right settings, but when It comes time to pull the thread, only about half of It sinches up. And I’m pulling hard. It seems so easy in the video. What am I doing wrong?
@@NotchesSewing not that I can tell. Is the bobbin supposed to be the embroidery thread as well? If not, that might be where I’m messing up. Works fine when I do It by hand
I tried to make this following every instruction. I even went and bought the strong thread. There was NO WAY I could gather up the thread. Used no tension and the largest stitch but I could not gather!!! Tried 3 times til the fabric was like a rag. Very disappointed. Did it by hand in the end.
Did you pull on the bobbin threads and not the top threads? As you can see in the video, when there is no tension when sewing, the top threads should produce very loose loops allowing you to pull the bobbin threads very easily. What type of fabric are you using? Using running stitch by hand is gone too.

What a great idea! I’m organizing my 50 year high school reunion and this would be a very clever gift for each participant!

Made these for grandchildren…. They love them. Thank you.
Wonderful! So glad. Thanks for watching😊

What a great idea. Would be especially good for kids whose hands are too small to hild a lot of cards. Thanks for such an easy tutorial to follow.
Not my original idea but made quite a few samples to come up with easiest and neatest method. Thanks for watching.😊

Thank you. Just found about 50 disc. Now I can make these card holders. Thank you
Score!! Once you start making them, you start scrambling looking for more old cds, dvds etc 🤣

Thank you! I teach a single mom and four of her 5 children ( middle three she adopted), to sew. Great gift to make in our class.
You are so welcome! Have fun😊
By far the easiest tutorial I've tried. Tons of people are asking for these now!
Thank you! Yes they are very popular. Biggest challenge is finding cd’s and dvd’s these days…….

This is awesome idea for children and elderly or those who have arthritis - much easier to hold multiple cards at once. I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. I’ll have another tutorial soon on a simple way to embellish them. Cheers

Definitely simpler than the other method I saw. Thank you 😊
Thanks. Do you mean method with plastic lids? Cheers!
Cheers... she did the gathering using needle and thread not sewing machine
I love this tutorial. I've made several for my grandma and I because we love playing Gin Rummy and you're having to hold many cards at a time
Thanks so much😊
What a great idea. I’d use that, as I have limited use of my fingers, and pain, so it would great to be able to play cards without making my hands hurt! ❤️❤️It’s also a good way of recycling old CDs and DVDs! ❤️❤️
Glad it’ll be helpful. It’s really useful and good fun to make. Cheers!

super, merci . Très originale :)
🌼
I like the taturial I made these but u make them differently I used felt instead bating its easier to use 2 whole buttons
So clever! Thx ❤️
Very Very nice brilliant 👏👏👏👋👋🏼
Thank you so much 😀
This is a Neat Idea.😀😃
Glad you think so!
This is so cool!
thanks😊
I think that is very clever.
I didn't invent this but hope my sewing tutorial helps.🙂
Got such a neat card playing idea going to make several maybe it will help stop my husband from cheating when we play together lol thank you
Have fun!!😊
Genius!
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant!
thanks for watching😊
super bravo :)
If you sold these at a craft show, what do you think would be a good price.. love this idea. Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't sell these items, so I'm unable to provide specific pricing advice. I recommend calculating your material and labor costs to determine a price that ensures a profitable outcome for you
epic idea, i would use cardboard instead of hard disk...if accidentally step on it on the floor and disk breaks
Thank you for sharing!

Could you try making 3D flower blossoms in the same style you made the butterflies? I think they would go well together!
working on it.😊. Thanks for watching.!
@@NotchesSewing awesome!
there are lots of “ how to make flower with ribbon “ videos but I want to make one with just 1 or 2 pieces of scrap fabric and not having to sew multiple pieces together.
Can I use top stitch thread with my sewing machine and regular sewing machine needle? Beginner here 😊
It’s way easier to hand stitch around to gather up.
Love these! Made some over the weekend and they are so cute. My only problem is that the cards get hung up on the gathers. Any tips on making them flatter? Or am I the only person that has had that problem? 🤷
Thanks!
You are the very first with this question😊what do you mean gets hung up? It should slide smoothly in and out between the fabric
@@NotchesSewing the corners of the cards catch in the gathers.
could try giving it a quick press before joining together
😍😍😍😍
Is there anything else to use other then cds?
👏👏😍
Just found your channel, love it. For this project t do you put a cd in each circle or just in one? Thanks
you need to put in each circle. Thanks for watching.😊
Would cardboard work for it to be more cost friendly?
Not sure if cardboard would hold up to the constant handling and you would also need to take the time to cut into correct shape. Ask friends and family and local charity shops for unwanted old cd’s, dvd’s
do the hard stay on. I would think they would slip as there is a gap between both the cds
Yes they stay in as the gathers of the fabric keep them in place and no gap. Hope you try it.
When I set my top stitch tension to zero my stitches bog down and tangle underneath…. Am I misunderstanding how to do this?
Please check that your bobbin in put in properly. There should still be tension on bobbin thread.
@@NotchesSewing thanks for your reply. My bobbin is installed properly. I have an older Bernina Record. It’s not digital. My top stitch tension is merely a dial with a “+” and “-“…. I’ve tried adjusting that without any luck..?
Can you use a 4 hole button?
Sure. Just sew together in a cross design. Happy Holidays!
They can’t be washed because of the cds or is there a way ??
you can carefully handwash them
@@NotchesSewing oh okay is there a certain ingredient to wash them? Thank you for your time to reply!
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I have the right thread and right settings, but when It comes time to pull the thread, only about half of It sinches up. And I’m pulling hard. It seems so easy in the video. What am I doing wrong?
Hmmm that seems a bit strange. Are pulling on the bobbin threads and has the thread knotted up somewhere preventing you from pulling?
@@NotchesSewing not that I can tell. Is the bobbin supposed to be the embroidery thread as well? If not, that might be where I’m messing up. Works fine when I do It by hand
Could you just run a basting stich with needle and thread instead of using a sewing machine?
You sure can! I would still use thicker thread though so it doesn’t snap. Have fun!
I tried to make this following every instruction. I even went and bought the strong thread. There was NO WAY I could gather up the thread. Used no tension and the largest stitch but I could not gather!!! Tried 3 times til the fabric was like a rag. Very disappointed.
