We get a lot of Christmas cards and I never know where (or how) to display them… until now! I wanted to come up with something pretty and functional, so take a look at my new Christmas card holder that I made out of clothespins and a floral ring!

This was simple to do and a lot of fun!

Materials:

• 12 white clothespins
• 12 red clothespins
• 12” floral craft ring
• Glue
• Clear gloss spray paint (optional)
• 20 inches of decorative ribbon

Instructions:

• Using the 12” floral craft ring as the base, glue on the clothespins alternating red and white, tips facing out. There are holes in the craft ring so I made sure to cover them with the clothespins. If you like them, leave them. 🙂

Use a strong glue to stick your clothespins to the ring. I used permanent Glue Dots (at least three per clothespin) but any heavy duty glue should work.

Optional: To give the wreath a shine, spray it with a clear glossy spray paint.

And finally, attach a pretty white ribbon for easy hanging.

I love the way this turned out, and we’ve already started using it at our house. It’s hanging on our wall, and Lainey loves putting the cards in!
