I found this post over at Craft Magazine including some very interesting and awesome ideas for business card displays. I knew I had to have something on hand that I could craft one out of - and then I thought about the bag of wine corks that I've had for a couple of years.
Basically, it's just 6 wine corks. You glue four together, side by side to make the back piece. For the front rest piece, cut three round discs, about 1/4 inch in thickness and glue to the bottom of the back piece, in a row. Cut the remainder of that cork in half lengthwise and glue the flat part to the edge of the discs, about halfway down the flat area. For the under piece that keeps the holder tilted, cut the remaining cork lengthwise in half and glue one half - curved side up to the bottom of the holder. Glue it under the three discs that hold the cards so that it tilts a little backwards. You will have to play with it to get the correct angle. As you glue each section, go back in and fill in gaps so that when the glue dries, the holder will be sturdy.
That's basically it. Now you have a cute cork business card holder that you can tack things onto, or just use plain. Pictures are below. Oh, and I used Quick Hold Craft Adhesive for the glue, but E6000 or any flexible cement/glue that dries quickly will probably do.
