Business cards are for most people a part of everyday life; you distribute your own cards and collect some from others. Until now I've always put my cards at craft markets in a small bowl but that was not really ideal. Consequently, I decided to make my own business card holder which also simultaneously matches the style of my craft. Of course, this card holder doesnt need to hold your own cards. If I would work in an office, I would use my box to collect the business cards of my work contacts. So, who wants to make the colleagues jealous?

Finished business card holder.

Materials and tools: A book, a pair of scissors, a wooden box, a triangle ruler, a pencil and a sharp knife

To stain the wood of my box darker, I used a method I've already described here in another post.

To prepare my book, I measured first the length of my wooden box and accordingly marked the part of the book, which I wanted to cut off.

To cut the book binding, it is best to use a sharp knife while the book sides are easier to cut with scissors.

The folding itself is super simple and amazingly fast. Each side must now be folded inwards. It is best to begin in the middle and end with the first and/or last page.

All that remains now is to put the folded book into the box and you can already begin to organize your business cards. If you like to see more of my projects just visit my blog :-)
