I was struggling to think of an idea for displaying my business cards at the show this weekend. I didn’t want to get one of the standard holders you can find at the store. I wanted something a little more creative, with a handmade touch. With a little embellishment I was able to turn an old Altoids tin into a cute business card holder!
I used double-sided tape to secure the strand of lace around the outside. Then I printed out a little design and cut it down to the size of the inside of the tin. A little more double-sided tape and that was literally it. SO easy, and the perfect handmade way to display your business cards at a craft show!
So cute! Great idea!
very cute and crafty 🙂
that’s a great idea! thanks so much for the inspiration.
Great idea! I’m doing a craft show in October. I may just have to try that!
This looks great! I love the tin also! I think I have to start making the business card and show off ♥

~Blessings!
This is such a nifty idea, not to mention portable! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve also just been following your blog, and I’m already a big fan! 🙂 Keep up the great work.
This such is a cute idea!
I really love this idea! Thanks for the inspiration. I sell upcycled vintage jewelry on Etsy and recently started selling in a local fabric/handmade boutique. I got somewhat creative with the jewelry display, but figuring out a fun way to display my business cards & stickers was hard. i am going to try something like this.
Cool, I always hated throwing out those metal boxes!
That is how I display my business cards at shows and the boutiques I sell in! It really is the perfect size for them!
Great idea, Thanks:)
so cute! i saw this on craftgawker earlier!!!
I love this! Totally borrowing it 🙂
This is adorable! Your blog is great. 🙂
That is so cute and I love it! I actually have one of those in my desk drawer and I refuse to throw it away because I think I can use it for something. Thanks for that great idea!
Saw this featured over at Ucreate, absolutely adorable!
Loving this! TOtally doing it tonight!
this is such a great idea! If I ever do another show, I might try it out 🙂
I need to start buying altoids! This is very cute. I just got excepted into my first market and have been thinking about stuff like this.
I alos love your business cards!
I love that it’s so easy to pack and unpack. When you’re doing a show all you have to do is pull it out and open it up.
And the lace detail is adorable.
that’s a good & cute idea, thank you!
This looks like a great idea! I think I may try it for an upcoming show I’m in with a “Fisherman’s Friend” tin. Thanks!

You’ll not worry regarding all of them falling or Plastic business cards maybe ripping because you stay pertaining to organization connections to offer all of them aside in order to. About the acquiring finish, ones connections can once and for all have ones credit card.
