Appropriate for all ages (with supervision)

What you need


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

How to make it

Lay out a piece of wax paper or recycle a plastic bag to protect your work surface. Note: Newspaper will stick to the project.


Lay three Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side.

Glue the three sticks together. This is the front side of the card holder.

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.

For the back of the business card holder, lay four Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side, and also glue together.

For the sides of the card holder, cut one and a quarter inch off of the top and bottom of two Popsicle sticks.

Lay two long edges together, side to side and glue together. 

Repeat with other two ends for the other side of the card holder.

Glue the front to the base at a right angle. Glue the back to the base also at a right angle. Now you should have a u-shaped figure.

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.  Let it dry.

Add decorations such as painted shapes, pom-poms, or anything you would like.
