Cut 2 pieces of felt 16cm x 10.5cm, (make sure they are exactly the same).

Cut 1 piece felt 16cm x 7 cm

Make a fold down the middle of each piece using a hot iron to secure. Create a design on the front half of one piece. This will form the cover.

Open the cover and place the other two pieces inside it so that the smaller piece aligns with the bottom of the other two (this will form the 'pocket' for the cards). You may need to trim the edges with some sharp sewing scissors to make sure they are even. At this point, you can also round the edges (as in the picture) if you want.

Sew around the outside of the felt to secure the three pieces together. As you get to the middle of each outside edge, secure a short piece the ribbon into the stitching (I used about 25cm).
