These wooden business card holders are a breeze to make! I first made one for myself years ago because I kept crushing my business cards on the jobsite. This business card holder looks stylish, and it's super easy to make--plus it only costs about $2!

(You can use a great variety here. I tried to demonstrate that by depicting a number of tools used for varying purposes)
Drill
3/4" Spade Bit
Miter Saw (or backsaw)
Table Saw (or backsaw)
Hammer
Chisel

$2 BUSINESS CARD HOLDER HOW-TO:

1. Rip 1/8" plywood down to width slightly wider than your business card.
2. Drill 3/4" hole in center of piece using spade bit.
3. Cut in half at center of hole.
4) Rip skinny (1/4") strip of plywood.
5) Cut strip into smaller pieces.
6) Super glue strip to left side of wood panel (Repeat for right side)
7) Super glue strip across bottom between side pieces.
8) Super glue second wooden panel on top of strip spacers.
9) Trim excess with either backsaw or miter saw and table saw.
10) Sand business card holder.

This is awesome! You could easily burn a brand into them and clear coat and be done. Great little project!

[thomaslenox]

These babies would sell like hotcakes at a wood show. Really cool, thanks for sharing.

May I make a humble suggestion? Only use the finger cutout on 1 side. The non-cut side will protect your cards from side damage and your finger/thumb will still be able to get a friction grip when you push down and pull out the card.

[jameshalleron]

Love it. Just started my handyman business so this should save my business card investment. Thank you.

[BoxcarJerry]

Very cool fast project that will impress some clients . I have a branding iron I'll use on mine . Thanks for sharing .

[lukefitt]

I made one of these for a gift card I was giving someone and the other videos I found in doing it were using a router and much more complicated and this way is so much easier! Simple idea but looks great. Thank you!

[passeagle]

Great idea if you can find the wood for free, I mean nothing wrong with carrying 10 or 15 business card holders. You could give some away to potential clients. And they would spread the work of where they got them and from who... everybody wins.🖒🖒🖒🖒

[andressalas]

Welp, got a new project to go make! great idea and perfect use of a ton of super thin plywood that would otherwise go in the dump. cheers!

[jimmowers]

Cool project. I may have to make a few for friends. Thanks for sharing.

[jameskuykendall]

Just made mine and it turned out great!! Thanks for the inspiration

[davidnixon]

Soo very cool! I’ve been looking for something to compliment the pencil & business card holders that I’m making. Thanks

[craftychinurse]

Definitely will make! Awesome sauce! Thanks. I'm always looking for simple projects.

[Shin_Lona]

I would actually make a bunch of those to give away with the business cards as a promotional item. Simple enough that you could batch build and knock out several at once. It would definitely make an impression on potential customers.

[SANFLGPDX]

I absolutely love this! I've recently started my own construction and tile company after being in the trades for just a bit over a decade, and this would totally be a great handmade Conversation Piece when handing out business cards.

[KamboCan]

Love this idea and have it on my list to make for family and friends.

[julietphillips]

It definitely is a cool project, but I honestly thought you were going to make the actual business card out of wood! Maybe you could experiment with transferring the image from the paper card onto the plywood.
If it worked, that would be an awesome business card!

[paulhoerchler]

Nice! I'm gonna put that on my list of to-do's right now. Great job. Love the channel and the content. Keep it up.

[ryanpaul]

I'll probably make one, cool little useful project

[kbenk]

i would make a flap that can fasten, so the cards don't fall out.

[johnkelley]

What a neat idea! Thanks for sharing this.
