Business Card Holder Tutorial
So, a while back I decided to make something to hold my business cards on a community bulletin board. I wanted something that would hold several cards, and stand out. So I thought of the following idea. Turns out to be a very helpful marketing tool.
This is the holder I came up with:
What do ya think? If you like the idea then stick around cause here comes the tutorial! I am posting it for others to use for personal use only. You are welcome to post about and link to this tutorial on my site. Thank you!
Business Card Holder Tutorial:
Supplies you will need:
-5.25″ wide X 5″high Piece of cardstock
-5-1/2″wide X 4.25″ Post Card (I got mine from Vista Print)
-Standard Business Card (again, from Vista Print)
-Scrapbook sticker letters
-Scissors, Pencil, Tape, Stapler, Ruler
To begin, fold you piece of card stock in half. Keeping it 5.25″ wide.
Then measure and mark the sides 3/4″ up from the bottom. Next center you business card and line up the bottom edge with with the 3/4″ line. Use you pencil and trace around the business card. Don’t worry about the pencil marks.
You should have this now:
Now you cut just outside your pencil line, like so:
Now you should have this:
Now re-fold it in the other direction so the lines are on the inside. You will then need to staple each side at the top.
Place you business card inside the slot.
Now slide the post card in between the cardstock and the business card.
Turn the whole thing over and tape the backside together.
Turn it back over and get the letter stickers of your choice. (I like the bold ones best).
Add the stickers on. I used “Take One”.
All finished!! Now admire your work & place on a community bulletin board to market yourself.
