Easy, Homemade Christmas Card Holder
Sunday, December 04, 2011 Posted by Jolly Mom
I love getting Christmas cards this time of the year. The question is what to do with all of them once you get them? With this easy, homemade card holder--you can display all of your Christmas cards and turn them into part of your decor!
All you need is:
Wooden clothespins
Ribbon
2 tacks, push pins or nails
Once you have your supplies, pick a spot to display your cards. Place one tack on the left side of where you want your display to start. Don't push the tack all the way in. Wrap one end of the ribbon around the tack and push the tack all the way into the wall--securing the ribbon in place. Take the other end of the ribbon and go across to the other end--where you want your display to end. Make sure your ribbon is straight, place the tack at that point, wrap the ribbon around the tack and finally push the tack all the way in. Then, grab your cards and clothespins and hang your cards on the ribbon. After Christmas, it is easy to take down or keep it up and use it to display family pictures, To Do lists, and more!

Great idea! I doubt I'll be getting very many this year because I haven't even sent mine out yet!

Nice! We usually just tape ours to the back of our front door--I'll totally have to remember this for my cards next year :)

That's a great idea, and if you need to, you can make more than one and have a ladder effect. I love how creative you are. You should start a blog for just your crafts. You are an amazing woman, I don't know how you do it all, I am in awe!!

Have a Happy New Year!
