DIY YSL Card Holder with Studs


Aside from a good DSLR camera, a blogger needs a fine card holder. If the continues sick exchange rate stops you from buying that YSL card holder, you don't have to worry because you can make one for yourself. On my experience, two-pocket card holders are better than one because during events, I use the first pocket for my own cards and the last, to insert the ones I will be receiving. It is also important if your are invited on an event get yourself noticed or remembered, so I thought of adding a few studs to give it an edgy impression. This DIY is budget friendly but still "à la mode." I fish for materials on weekend flea markets here in Milan because they're not only reasonably priced but also you can make a good hag. Tip: if you go on a flea market ask for a good piece of leather enough to make a card holder, you don't need too much. Vendors will give you what you want if you are specific (e.g. kind of leather, measurement, etc.). I bought my metalized leather for 5 euros while, the studs 10 cents each at merceria (a sartorial store).
What you need:
metalized leather
5 pcs studs
ballpen/liner
cutter
thread
sewing machine
a coin
