AXn integral substantially flat, cut sheet article holder capable of supporting at least one or more articles in balanced vertical suspension upon separation and extension of cut portions, comprising an integral flat flexible sheet, a center portion of the sheet having a plurality of arcuate cuts, the arcuate cuts being located in an area which defines generally an annular circumferential region, the arcuate cuts being offset from one another within the annular region in the plane of the flat sheet, cuts of each arcuate cut overlapping at least two other arcuate cuts so as to define upon separation of cut portions and extension from the flat sheet a receptacle-like portion having a bottom support means, a peripheral collar-like portion and upright side support portions secured through one of their respective ends to the bottom support means and through the other of their respective ends to the collar-like portion, the flat sheet material surrounding the annular circumferential region being further cut with a plurality of a series of cuts offset from one another in the plane of the flat material but partially overlapping in an alternate reverse cut manner to define, upon separation of the material at the cuts and extension thereof, a plurality of post-like extension portions integral with the receptacle-like portion, the portions of the sheet defined by the cuts being substantially contiguous when the flexible sheet is in flat condition so that essentially all the material of the sheet is utilized in the holder.
