Sports Trading Cards Stand

So my brother and I have a little over 300 Football cards in my drawer. The problem is that they go all over the place and make my drawer messy. Plus, I did not want to waste $15-$20 for a card binder. As result, I have decided to create a stand for them.

Material

Here's what you will need:

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Hot glue gun
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Paper (preferably cardstock)
  • Trading cards

Get Dimensions

To begin, you will need to find the dimensions of your cards. Usually, cards are 2.5" x 3.5". But, that's not always the case. Therefore, you will need to mark down the dimensions of your cards.

Form the Base

Next, line up several popsicle sticks on one side of your pencil mark and glue the together.

Add Railings and Cards

The last you will need to do is glue the railings on the base and display your cards.
