How to Make a Cardboard Pamphlet Holder

Make a pamphlet holder from cardboard boxes to save money.

A cardboard pamphlet holder provides a handy and durable display for those interested in getting their message out. Modern computer software programs and home printers can help you create professional-looking pamphlets at very little cost. Keep those cost-savings low by creating this holder with a few basic supplies and cardboard boxes you can pick up from your local supermarket, free of charge.

Things You'll Need

• 2 cardboard boxes, 12-inch-by-12-inch-by-4-inch
• Masking tape
• Black poster paint
• Foam paintbrush
• Poster board
• Scissors
• 3 sheets of clear plastic
• Stapler

Instructions

1. Cut the tops off the boxes and cut down the sides to 4 inches if necessary.

2. Reinforce all the bent and raw edges of the boxes with masking tape.

3. Paint the inside and outside of the boxes with the poster paint. Let the paint dry thoroughly.

4. Lay one box top on a flat surface, with the opening facing up. Insert the other box on its side with the opening facing toward you.

5. Cut a piece of poster board to measure 11 inches by 20 inches.

6. Staple the three sheets of clear plastic to the poster board to create pockets at staggered intervals, beginning 10 inches from the top of the poster board.

7. Place the pamphlets in the clear pockets and lean the poster board inside the holder made with the two boxes.
