If you sell handmade hair clips, barrettes or hair jewelry at festivals and craft shows, you will need display cards for your products. A properly designed display card not only shows your professionalism, it helps protect your homemade products as well as attract attention from buyers. The card also serves as a marketing tool to promote your business. The following is a simple guide to get you started on making your own display cards.
Step 1
Decide how many hair clips you want to attach onto each card. The size of the card could be as small as a business card for a single hair clip or as large as a postcard for multiple clips.

Step 2
Design a logo and print it on a sheet of labels. Alternatively, you may print it directly onto the card stock. Print separate labels for contact and marketing information.
Step 3
Measure the metal underside of the hair clip or barrette.
Step 4
Draw two parallel lines of equal length on the card stock. The distance between those lines should be smaller than the metal part of the hair clip
Step 5
Punch a hole on each line's endpoint, using a handheld hole puncher. You will have four holes in total.
Step 6
Use an X-Acto knife, cut two vertical slits starting at the top holes toward the bottom holes.
Step 7
Clip the barrette between the slits. You may need to experiment with the distance of the slits.
Step 8
Apply your logo onto the top of your card. Your contact or marketing information may go on the back of cards.
Step 9
For a hanging display, you may make a hole on top of the card and tie a string through it.
Tip
Larger cards take up more space, but they command more attention. Larger sizes have a higher perceived value.
Warning
Avoid using X-Acto knives or sharp objects around small children.
