You would laugh to know how I did this one! It included chip board, a ruler, a ceramic coaster and pen. LOL - whatever you have available huh? The chipboard was for my template and the coaster was to get the curve. It worked.
Not too bad! This is a card wallet - I did not want to just say business cards because I found it is good for gift cards - they are thinner than regular debit/credit cards (though those fit as well) and I thought it would be a very unique gift card holder - for a gift! Instead of buying paper that will just be thrown away, even the holder could be used.
My question for you all - what would you like in cork? I was thinking about a bi-fold and tri-fold mens wallet in plain, chocolate and black cork - maybe even mixed, a women's small wallet, a passport wallet and a luggage tag. Not to mention, I would make the hand sanitizer holders and maybe some key fobs out of it.
The only bummer thing is I cannot find an American supplier that has the variety Carla's supplier does. So, I paid the exchange rate and international shipping. I can only hope someone picks it up sooner than later. Right now, here I can only get the cork-printed fabric - not the actual cork.
I am in completely love with this cork - so soft and easy to work with. I am going to go crazy with it!
You bet! It might be a month or so before I get the design worked out - I am a tad underwater with quilts right now, but my husband loves the tri-fold and I want to make one for him.
ReplyDeleteCork is not super sturdy, so how would it work in these items? Just my two cents worth and it may not even be a one-cent worth opinion. the design is a excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is VERY sturdy. It is not the traditional cork that is on the bottom of coasters. It is almost like leather - only better! It cannot tear, does not crumble, stain proof, does not hold on to germs, and very soft - not a rough texture at all. I tried to rip - like really tried and so did my husband because we were skeptical. It is awesome!
DeleteThanks for the info.
DeleteVery cool. I love your ambition!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
