Folding DIY Placecards?

I'm making my own placecards---what can I use to fold the placecards neatly and evenly? I've read that I can use a soring tool---anyone know where I can find one?

TIA!!!

There is a tool called a bone folder, which makes sharp creases in the paper.
You should be able to find it in stationary and craft stores

If you have a paper trimmer or exacto knife, you just have to buy the 'SCORING' blade for it. You can get the scoring blade at Staples or other similar stores. Works like a charm!

I believe an awl might work for that. Used to use that tool for patternmaking when I went to FIT. It will score the paper/cardstock. Here's the link for one on Paper-Source Paper-Source Link
