  2. Lay three Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side.
  3. Glue the three sticks together. This is the front side of the card holder.

  5. For the back of the business card holder, lay 4 Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side, and also glue together.
  6. For the sides of the card holder, cut 1 and 1/4 inch off of the top and bottom of 2 Popsicle sticks.

  8. Repeat with other 2 ends for the other side of the card holder.
  9. Glue the front to the base at a right angle.

  12. Let dry.
  13. Add decorations such as painted Woodsies shapes, pom-poms, or anything you would like.

  Tips
   
  Felt or construction paper could be used to make the flowers as well. Attach the child's picture on the front of the holder for a decoration that Mom will love.
