How to Make a Pokemon Card Holder

Pokemon cards have become competitively collectible, and children trade them with each other to increase the value of their own decks, much like sports fans trade cards featuring their favorite players. The cards come in small boxes or pouches at department and toy stores, but a child's collection will quickly outgrow these small containers, requiring some sort of organized storage. You can make a Pokemon card holder at home and decorate it with your favorite Pokemon characters.

Things You'll Need

3-ring binder
Photo album refill pages
Letter decals
Pokemon stickers
Permanent markers
Baseball card box
Squeezable craft paint
Paint markers

Empty Pokemon deck boxes
