How to fold a tent card

Our cards arrive flat, already scored and slit. Each one folds into a standing tent in about five seconds, with no glue or tape.

Step by step

  1. Fold the peak

    Fold the card in half along the centre score, printed faces outside. Run a thumbnail along the fold.

  2. Fold the flaps in

    Fold each short end inward along its score, so the flaps point toward each other under the tent.

  3. Lock the slits

    Slide the slit in one flap into the slit in the other. The base locks into a triangle.

  4. Stand it up

    Press the base flat on the table. The card stands on its own.

Folding hundreds

Fold in batches

Do step 1 for the whole stack, then step 2, then step 3. It is faster than finishing one card at a time.

Use a bone folder

Or the back of a spoon. Sharp folds keep the tent upright.

Fold only what you use

Flat cards store better. Fold a week's worth and keep the rest in the box.
