Thank you for stopping by this post for DIY Playing Card Holders for Family Game Night. Your support of my blog means the world to me. I am currently re-designing and expanding this project and category, but in the meantime, I have included some of my favorite playing card holders below.
Make family game night even more fun with playing card holders in all shapes and sizes. Featuring both handheld and tabletop card holders appropriate for young children through to seniors.
My niece has a hard time with a handful of cards in her little hands. One of our favorite games is UNO, and sometimes you can end up with a bunch of cards.
We love our playing card holders because they make playing games effortless and fun. And, it’s easy to see all the cards.

Whether you are playing Go Fish with the kiddos, Bridge with the ladies, or Canasta with the neighbors, using card holders makes the fun more comfortable.
Tiered holders make the cards easy to see all at once, so you will never miss a strategic move. Organizing your cards in a holder is key to having the right card at your fingertips.
Curved holders are perfect for the die-hard players, so you can keep all those cards to yourself. Ideal for the kids as they get older and learn to play card games without adult assistance.
