thought I'd share this guide I made a friend on how to create stands for pokemon cards OUT OF pokemon cards! (credit to the video I found the idea from at the end of the post, but i did add onto it :>)
what you'll need:
one or two pokemon cards you don't care about destroying (I suggest energy cards for this)
scissors
that's it!!!!
part one step 1: fold one of the cards the short way
part one step 2: cut the card from the center to the edge of the bottom of the letter "P" (DONT CUT ALL THE WAY/PAST THE LETTER!!!!)(you may find a different angle might work better so feel free to experiment after trying this for the first time)
part one step 3: on the other edge, cut at a slight angle to the the point where you cut. pull/wiggle off if necessary to cut this wedge off
part one step 4: put the cut card upright!! now you have a functioning stand if you want to make one using only one card!! display like so:
but you can use another card for more stability!
part two step 1: cut a card in half length wise
part two step 2: somewhat centered, cut an space even to the distance between the low points of your stand from part one; you may also use the edges of the energy symbol as reference for distance and height of the cuts
part two step 3: fit the slits on this half card into the spaces of your stand from part one
you now have a more stable card stand!!! it's nothing perfect but I hope you enjoy it!!
as a bonus tip, I suggest matching the color of your energy card used for the stand to the card you want to display!! feel free to reblog with ideas to make this sturdier or better!! :)
