Business Card Holder

Difficulty: Easy

Age: 4 and up

Parental supervision is recommended

Kids can decorate these charming Popsicle stick business card holders with stars, other Woodsie shapes, markers, felt, paint or construction paper.

What you'll need:

  • 11 Popsicle sticks
  • Scissors
  • Green craft paint
  • School glue
  • Decorations (Woodsies, paint, pom-poms, etc.)
  • Waxed paper or plastic bag (to protect work surface)

How to make it:

  1. Lay out a piece of waxed paper or recycle a plastic bag to protect your work surface. Note: Newspaper will stick to the project.
  2. Lay three Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side.
  3. Glue the three sticks together. This is the front side of the card holder.
  4. For the base of the business card holder, lay two Popsicle sticks flat next to each other and glue together in the same fashion as that of the front.
  5. For the back of the business card holder, lay four Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side, and glue together.
  6. For the sides of the card holder, cut one and a quarter inch off of the top and bottom of two Popsicle sticks.
  7. Lay two long edges together, side to side and glue together.
  8. Repeat with other two ends for the other side of the card holder.
  9. Glue the front to the base at a right angle.
  10. Glue the back to the base also at a right angle. Now you should have a U-shaped figure.
  11. Glue the right and left sides to the base, front, and back of the card holder. Now you should have the actual card holder finished.
  12. Let dry.
  13. Add decorations such as painted Woodsies shapes, pom-poms, or anything you would like.

Tips:

Felt or construction paper could be used to make the flowers as well. Attach the child's picture on the front of the holder for a decoration that any parent will love.
