How to Make a Postcard Holder

 I was asked by someone who visits this blog how to make the postcard holder that I shared weeks ago.  So here goes…..

You will need a heavy stock paper for the construction of the postcard holder.  I used cereal box cardboard for mine. 

Cut the cardboard to 11 inches by 6 inches.

Score the cardboard at 2.5 inches; 3.25 inches; 8.25 inches; and at 9 inches.  Fold on all your score lines.

You can cover with decorative papers first and then score….either way works.  Let dry well or the papers might tear if they are still wet when attaching to the cardboard…..experience is speaking here.

Make your closure out of cardboard and attach to the center of the top and bottom sections. You can use brads and bookbinding thread to keep the holder closed.  It should hold a dozen or so postcards. See photos above.  Have fun!
