Triangular card stand made with origami

Easy! Card Stand #shorts #origami #easy #100-yen-shop #craft

That triangular card stand you often see on card stands can actually be made by folding a single sheet of origami paper.

The key is to use double-sided patterned origami.

First, fold the paper to create crease lines.

Then, simply fold along the creases to form the triangular card stand.

Using double-sided patterned paper lets you enjoy different designs on the surface that supports the card and the surface that holds it in place.

Make it with your favorite patterns.

This card stand also works great as a sticky note holder—very handy to keep on your desk.

Card stand made of cardboard

[Made with Cardboard] Card Stand [For Playing Cards and UNO]

When playing card games like Trump or UNO, sometimes your hand ends up being visible to others.

This is especially true for small children, since their hands are small and it can be hard to hold several cards.

So, let’s make a card stand out of cardboard.

Once it’s finished, you’ll have a stand that lets you line up your cards in a single row.

Cut the cardboard into shape and assemble it.

When securing the parts, using packing tape keeps the color from standing out.

Decorating it with masking tape and the like will make it look even nicer.

You can make it with everyday materials like cardboard, so give it a try!

Origami Crane Card Stand

How to fold an origami crane card stand

Many of you have probably folded an origami crane at least once, right? Using the same steps as folding a crane, let’s make a card stand.

The basics follow the crane fold, but partway through, you change the steps.

Then you’ll have a card stand shaped like a crane.

It’s designed so you can insert a card between the wings and tail.

You only need one sheet of origami paper, so preparation is easy.

It’s nice as a room decoration, and since cranes are considered lucky, it could also be used as a place card for family birthdays or Respect for the Aged Day celebrations.

Card stand for games

This is a card stand that’s easy to make using materials from a 100-yen shop.

Have you ever dropped your cards while playing games like poker, or found it annoying to hold your cards all the time? In those moments, a stand to rest your cards on can be really handy.

You make it by cutting and folding a thick paper board called itame-hyoshi (chipboard).

By choosing different felt colors to attach and by tweaking where the cards rest, you can create a variety of designs and unique stands.

Strong double-sided fabric tape is useful for attaching the felt.

Since all the materials can be found at 100-yen shops, you can make it easily and casually.

Jesmonite card stand

Do you know Jesmonite? If you enjoy crafts, you might be familiar with it.

Jesmonite is a resin, but it doesn’t have that characteristic plastic-like shine that resins often have.

It has a calm, stone-like texture.

Pour the liquid Jesmonite into a card-shaped mold.

Once it’s in the mold, tap the mold against the table to release air bubbles.

Removing the air here will give you a clean finish.

Once it hardens, take it out of the mold and you’re done.

Try customizing it with marble patterns, pigments, or gold leaf.
