This is adorable! I don’t have business cards, but this reminded me of something: I visited a quilt shop in Rapid City, South Dakota, a few years ago. They had yardsticks with their names on them, and they also made bobbin holders from those same yardsticks. They are similar to your business card holders, just a little longer. I picked up one as a souvenir, and now I’m thinking I should make a few more out of some of my stash of vintage yard sticks 🙂

Hi Gail,
The business card holder is really cute and I will add it to my Pinterest boards as I love repurposing things. If you should ever need a quantity of numbers for a calendar, the yard sticks come in very practical if cut on the half inch marks which center the numbers.. I’ve been making all my kids and oldest grand Advent calendars using chair webbing for pockets with added trims and yes, yardstick numbers! Red or black numbers work best for me. I got tickled to see the old TG&Y yardstick. Man, that was a cool bargain store back when I was raising my girls. Not that this would make a great holder for a quantity of yardsticks but the one or two I use in the house have a long holder out of chair webbing with an open ended seam at the top to run jute cording to hang it. Home Depot yard sticks have orange numbers so I’m thinking a Halloween/Fall calendar with different colored ring to circle the days in the month.
Thanks for sharing,
Sara
