Cover for Playing/ Tradable Cards

How many times has the box of your playing cards been torn, or used away. Or maybe you have just created your own personal playing cards. You might even collect some kind of tradable cards (ex. Magic). In this instructable (my second one) I will show you an easy way on how to make a cover / box for your playing cards.

All you need is:

1. an A4 piece of cardboard (I would sugest white, so that you can draw or print on it.)
2. a printer (to print the outline of the box)
3. a pair of scissors
4. glue
5. tape (transparent)

Step 1 Get the Outline!

As a first step you will need to click HERE, enter the code and download the file. It has to be downloadable since it is in MS Word Format.

If you are planning on drawing the cover of your card box, print it the size you want it, without any further complications. THe box i made was made to hold about 60 cards measuring 2.5 inches in width by 3.5 inches in height. So if you will be wanting to change the size, check the diagram below to see what you have to change, according to the size and nuber of cards.If you want to add pics on the scheme you have saved, I would sugest you open it in a document, and add imges to the cover. When you are ready, print it.

The tricky part of this insructable is getting the size of the box right.You should first print a sample copy on a normal blank sheet of paper, the edit the sizes on the PC; then print it on the cardboard you will be using.

Now on for the next step.. THE CUTTING!
