Make this easy 5-minute DIY origami cardholder to store all your extra cards!
For this super simple tutorial we’ll be making an origami card holder that requires minimal materials and time! I used double sided printed scrapbooking paper for this one but feel free to use any wrapping paper, card or coloured paper.

It’s perfect for a quick trip out when you just need some cash and cards; or perhaps just cause you need that extra card space because your wallet is packed and exploding (like mine, whoops!).

Step 1
Prepare your 9"x9" paper and ruler/bone folder! You can use any paper, preferably nothing too flimsy or thin, so your cardholder won't fall apart easily!
Step 2
With the right side facing down, fold the paper into half vertically.
Step 3
Fold the halves into halves. You should now have 3 lines down vertically.
Step 4
Using the quarter lines as a guide, fold all 4 corners inwards.
Step 5
Fold inwards at the quarter line. It should look something like this.
Step 6
Flip the whole paper around and fold downwards towards the middle mark. At this point it might be a good idea to use the bone folder to help flatten it at the folds.
Step 7
Repeat to the bottom, folding upwards this time. The bottom fold should overlap the top fold (you’ll see why in the next step).
Step 8
Taking the bottom piece, gently tuck it into the top piece and flatten.
Step 9
You're done!
