12 Days of Christmas Ideas--Day 11
On the eleventh day of Christmas Beyond The Picket Fence showed me... a Christmas card holder that is nifty! Are you as ready as I am for the poor rhymes to be over?
For this quick project I used a coffee sack. I chose one with a little green and red on it, but you also could use fabric, an old tablecloth, burlap you have stenciled. I staple gunned it to the wood frame of a garage sale bulletin board (never pass on bulletin boards). I then added some garden fencing to the front, bending it around the edges to secure it.
I curled up every other wire on the bottom for a hook (and yes, this too could hold stocking).
And voila--Christmas card holder that can be used long after Christmas is over as a message center.

Oh so cute. You are so creative. How do you get all of this done during such a busy time of year????
ReplyDeleteThat's neat -- I'd love to make one to use as an inspiration board.
ReplyDeleteI Really, Really like that idea! and I have all the materials! Yeah! Thanks for Sharing!
ReplyDeleteCute idea, seems like you could use wire hangers if you didn't have garden fencing. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteReally creative. I love that the stockings could hang from it also.
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat idea. Everyone is always looking for a creative way to display their cards. This surely qualifies as creative. Good job.
