I have been making these every since I stumbled onto this video. I however have made a few adjustments to it. I have carpal Tunnel and have to have a much larger needle so I use a 6” doll needle. I also use embroidery thread for extra security. I found that if I put a piece of batting between the C.D.’s you have a much tighter fit. I have made a few other adjustments, like decorating the outsides with embroidered patches instead of buttons. I used large buttons instead of small ones and I don’t sew the buttons on because I have so much problems with my hands. I use a combination of fabric glue and hot glue to secure them. These are adorable no matter how you make them. I made a few with denim and embroidered them before I put them together. They all turned out adorable!
I really liked your card holder! My husband helped sew the buttons on. When my sister and I were deciding on a project for a family gathering, I realized this was a perfect project. Everyone in my family plays cars. Some of us are getting older and even the young people will benefit from this card holder. Also, this is a relatively quick project so people won't feel like it takes too long or would have to wait for paint to dry. So, thank you very much.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, these holders certainly are useful... particularly for games that involve holding lots of cards. We actually used ours yesterday... so much easier to organize!
Thank you the tutorial was great thank you so much I'll be making some of these in the future popsicle holders for the little ones and older ones too are great you know the long popsicles in the plastic they need little holders made so it won't be cold on their little hands big horse small everyone loves them thank you for being so kind to share
Thank you Angie for linking me to your channel. I will be making some of these for sure. Nice texting with you today. I will be checking out your other videos.
I like this much better than the plastic canvas ones. I think I'll put batting on the inside and make the fabric circle another inch bigger. It will give it more 'tooth' for holding the cards. We play hand and foot and can get a lot of cards in our hands.
Love love LOVE this!!! I have made playing card holders before from plastic canvas circles and each one took about 3 hours to make. This is so much faster and they are bigger. Thank you so much for this tutorial, I will be making these very soon! 😍💜👍
@@AngiePadilla I made my first one last night and it turned out perfect! It was so quick and easy. I'm going to make a bunch more. Thank you again for the awesome tutorial!!! 💖
Nice card holder, Angie, but what would you stand it up on or lean it on? If you are going to hold the thing in your hands, you might as well just hold onto the cards. If you have a CD case, I suppose you could turn it the opposite way, that is open it until it stops and then set it down and lay the card holder on top of it. A person might not have good hands (on his arm) and might have to hold his cards up.
What we have found in our family is that this is handy for little hands or elderly shaky hands - in both cases holding cards can be challenging. So being able to insert the cards into this holder helps them organize and not drop the cards. The intention is not to stand it up or lean it on something, but to help the person holding the cards organize them without dropping them. :)
There is a guy I once knew who has a deformed hand, so he can only use one hand. He liked to play cards, so he cannot hold a card holder, let alone an actual deck of cards, in one hand. A card holder is good for him, but it would have to be on a stand. I like the idea of a picture frame glued to the back, though.

Those are great tips! Thank you for sharing.
A band could be added to allow a hand to slip in and be able to hold it securely, especially for mobility impaired persons.

Great idea!! Made 20 so far- sending to young children and elderly stroke victims. Making some for the local nursing home residents.
Absolutely love this. So useful and not intimidating for those of us with no sewing experience to try. Loving the music in the background too :)

Love it! I made some for us to play with lil granddaughter!! She loves them! Thank you!

Awesome!! Thank you! My young grandchildren are learning to play cards. We will be making these together soon!!
I love this idea!! I'll be making this today as we are playing a card game with our grandson tonight. Thanks for sharing.
This is ADORABLE and such a handy item to have for kids! Thank you for sharing!!!
ah! That looks like a great idea! I am thinking I may want to make it for a senior who is having trouble holding cards. =)
Brilliant! Thanks for the how-to!
Neat. Love the baroque background music too.

Is cotton batting necessary? Can a person use perhaps corrugated cardboard or thin styrofoam?
I used a a small picture frame glued to the back it worked very well .
I find this easier to hold than just the cards. Plus you can move it from one hand to the other or lay cards down.
