How Do You Make Card Slots?

Card slots are an essential part of any card holder or wallet. They provide a secure and organized way to store your credit cards, ID cards, and other important documents. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making card slots.

Before we start, let’s gather the materials we need. You will need:

• Heavy-duty cardstock paper
• Scissors or a craft knife
• A ruler
• A pencil
• A cutting mat (optional)

Now that we have everything we need, let’s get started.

Step 1: Measure and Mark

Firstly, take the heavy-duty cardstock paper and measure out a rectangle that is the size you want for your finished card slot. Use the ruler to ensure that your measurements are precise.

Once you have marked out the rectangle with your pencil, use the ruler to create two parallel lines inside the rectangle that are about 1/2 inch apart. These lines will be used as guides for cutting out the slot.

Step 2: Cut Out The Slot

Using either scissors or a craft knife, carefully cut along the two parallel lines you drew in Step 1. Be sure to cut only within those lines and not outside them.

If you are using a craft knife, it is recommended that you use a cutting mat underneath the cardstock paper to protect your work surface.

Step 3: Fold And Crease

Next, fold up the bottom of your rectangle along one of the cut lines so that it creates a pocket. Then crease along this line so that it stays folded up.

Step 4: Repeat The Process

Repeat steps one through three for as many card slots as you need. Make sure each slot is spaced evenly on your card holder or wallet for maximum organization.

Step 5: Decorate (Optional)

If you want to add a personal touch to your card slots, you can decorate them with stickers, washi tape, or other embellishments.

Congratulations! You now have a set of custom-made card slots that will keep your cards organized and secure. With these simple steps and a few basic materials, you can create a variety of card slots in different sizes and shapes to suit your needs.
