Business Card Easel

Turn an easel card into a business card holder.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut a cardstock base for the holder measuring 4 1/4" x 6 1/2". Score at 2" and 4".

   

2. Cut the front panel of the holder to measure 4 1/4" x 3". Add extra height to allow for a punched or die cut decorative border, if desired.

   

3. Step 2

   Cut cardstock to form the box, measuring 2 1/2" x 5". Score at 1/2" from each end on the long side, and 1" and 1 1/2" on the short side.

   

4. Step 3

   Fold the base on the scored lines. Adhere the front panel and stopper (gem or button) as shown.

   

5. Step 4

   To form the box, fold all score lines and cut tabs where indicated. Glue the ends, sandwiching the small middle tab between the top and bottom tabs. Repeat for opposite side.
   
   HINT:
   For uniform ends use an acrylic block to stabilize edges and keep them even while gluing.
   

   

6. Step 5

   Glue box to easel about 1/4" from the edge to leave enough room for the gem stopper.

   

7. Step 6

   Decorate as desired and add business cards or small message papers to finish the project.
