Step 1You will need...

You will need...
Materials:
a) Outer fabric. I used faux fur but fleece or velvet would work well
b) Lining. I used a thin metallic fabric cut from an old top. Any thin non-stertchy fabric will work.
c) Safety eyes. I used 9mm
d) 3-4cm piece of velcro
e) Pocket fabric. I used pink mesh netting, any thin non-fraying fabric will work.
f) Felt scraps, for the face features.

Tools:

g) Tape measure or ruler
h) Business card
i) Optional: bendy thin plastic, a butter tub lid or wax carton works well. This is to make the business card holder stiffer, you don't need to use it.
j) Needle and Thread
k) Marker pen
l) Biro
m) Pointy fabric scissors
n) Paper scissors

I've tried making a couple so far, but each time the cute blue-haired girls manage to escape. I think I need to substitute ingredients. Grandmothers are probably slower and less likely to get away, but their hands shake and that makes the card hard to read.

Indeed a very original/quirky ible for a business card holder. I know monsters are supposed to be scary, but this one is cute.
