Pinterest Inspired Business Card Holder

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE Pinterest. The only problem I have with it is that I will pin all of these really great ideas, but never really do them. So I decided I was going to give one of my pins a shot and see if I can really make it become a reality. 

I chose the business card holder I had pinned. It didn't look too hard and I really needed a business card holder anyways. 

Here is the original pin

Here is the link to Better Homes and Garden where this idea came from: 

http://www.bhg.com/rooms/home-office/storage/cheap-home-office-storage-ideas/?sssdmh=dm17.529068&esrc=nwdc060111c&email=2045334995#page=14

So I got out my old Altoids tin

and then put my business cards in the tin to make sure they fit.

They did fit. However, it was really hard to get them out so I decided to round the sides of the cards.

That worked a lot better! Then I took the cards out and applied Modge Podge to the front of the tin. Then laid one of my business cards on top of the Modge Podge and Modge Podged the card to the tin.

I then just let the Modge Podge dry and Wa-La! All ready to go.

This was so easy and did not take a long time at all.

Feel free to pin this on Pinterest and try it for yourself.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/56779081/little-boy-silhouette-edible-image-wafer

These wafer papers are 100% KOSHER and are imported from Europe, made from potato starch, water and vegetable oil and are printed with food coloring inks only. They have no flavor so as to contrast with the chosen flavor of your recipe. They bind to your cookie, fondant, chocolate, or buttercream cake. Simply apply 100% corn syrup in a thin layer with a wide flat brush to the back of the wafer paper and voila! Beautiful edible image creations your friends and family won't believe you made at home! Your order arrives with instructions on how to apply your edible images, as well as a No Fail Vanilla Sugar Cookie recipe and a Royal Icing recipe you can use to ice your cookies! Apply to the flat underside of store bought chocolate bars (the kinds with no nuts or crunchies as your chocolate must be smooth). These would look cute applied to fondant for edible cupcake toppers as well!  For more great edible image wafers, check out Queen of Tarts Wafers at http://www.etsy.com/shop/QueenofTartsWafers.
