Or you can cheat and poke the holes with a large safety pin. I've been doing it for years. It doesn't distort the card or leave stuff hanging off the back. Barbara Dream Master

Take a piece of plywood. Drive in tiny brad-type nails. Ones with almost no head on them. Nail the plywood to a piece of 2x4 (across its base, on the back). Add another small piece of plywood to the bottom if you want it to be free-standing. Or use a couple of c-clamps to hook it to the table. Spray paint the whole thing the color of your choice (something neutral, light gray is always good). Hang cards from little nails. Or, drive around town on trash day. Look for an old shutter that someone has thrown out. Turn shutter upside down. Attach some sort of base. Spray paint. The use earring cards which have been folded at the top. Stick the back flap thru the slats in the shutters. It's done all the time and looks very neat. Don't overfill. Leave some space between each card. Clutter confuses the eye and keeps people from buying.

I also saw earrings that had been place on "cards" cut from soft leather scraps. It looked very nice and was certainly eye-catching. Barbara Dream Master

I got my business cards from VistaPrint, but right now, it's too much money (they really get you with the shipping on those *free* cards, don't they? ;o). My friend has a bunch of cardstock that she uses to print her own cards, and she says she'll give me some :o) Thanks!

I just use a straight pin to poke the hole, and the earwire goes right through!
