Glue the Cards

A standard playing card may not be stiff enough to act as a card holder. So the first step is the stiffen the card by sticking two cards together with the help of some paper glue.

Stick it with the card numbers facing outwards. This gives a nice look to the holder if the design on the other side of the card looks boring.

Make Way for the Earpiece

After the glue dries and the cards are stuck properly, you'll need to make a few holes for the earpieces.

First make two holes almost near the top of the card. Now you need to cut a slit from the center of the holes to the top of the card to allow the earpieces to slide in from the top into the holes. Use a pair of scissors to cut these slits.

Refer the pictures for a better understanding on how to make the holes.

Cut Out the Groves

After you have holes for the earpieces cut out, you'll need to make some groves to for the wires to wrap around.

Draw the shape of the groves using a marker on the cards and then cut it out along the reference lines using a pair of scissors.

Place the Earphones
