![]() Isn’t this cute? Such a simple card holder, but so cute, right? Step 5: Finish the House Shaped Business Card Holder Then place them (centered) onto the house and glue and nail in place. You can lightly clamp or hold them together until the glue somewhat dries. Step 4: Add Business Card Holder House Top PiecesĬut 2 pieces of 1×2 at 4 ½″ long with 15 degree bevels cut on each side parallel to each other. Make sure the angles are slanted down toward the OUTSIDE of the house shape. Sand well and using glue and a nail gun, attach these sides to the slotted piece like shown. Bevel one end of each at about 15 degrees like shown. Step 3: Add House Sides for Business Card HolderĬut two pieces of 1×2 at 4 ½″ long. Now, unscrew the 1×2 from the jig and use a miter saw to trim down to the desired length. Step 2: Trim Down your Business Card Slotted Board If, after you cut, you want your slot wider, adjust your 1×2 slightly further out on the jig and route another slot right next to the first one to make it wider. I did ½″ the first time and it was WAY too deep. Also, set your router bit depth to about ¼″. Clamp the 2x piece to the work bench so it doesn’t move while routing. Now, use the router to cut your slot between these lines. Make sure the space between your marks is large enough for a card to fit. Make a mark where you want your slot to be. You want to space these apart so that when you run the router along the 2×2, the bit will cut down the center of the 1×2 to make the slot. Then, I took a piece of my 1×2 scrap (longer than you actually need so that you can trim the screw holes off the ends later) and screwed it into the top of the 2x scrap like shown. I grabbed a piece of 2x scrap wood and screwed a piece of scrap 2×2 onto the top like shown in the picture. But, if you don’t, you can set up a jig like I did. If you have a router table, that’s the way to go. ![]() ![]() Step 1: Cut the Business Card Holder Slot Scrap 1x2s (or just a short 1×2 board if you buy one) Please see disclosure policy for details.
