Card Holder

I've had a few ppl. ask how I made my Christmas card holder this year. It's easy as pie. If you remember the one I made for Emory here you can tell that the branches are different & would prob. be easier to hang the cards on. In all honesty there is no one way to do it and it's hard to mess up.

Step 1-find you base.

I decided to go with a red pot I found on sale at Lowe's. I'm sure you could do a tall vase similar to the one below or something totally different. It's up to you!

Step 2-gather the goods & assemble.

I used the foam florists use on fake flowers to hold my sticks. I would guess dirt or rocks would do the same thing. I bought my sticks at Hobby Lobby only because both times I've made this it was raining outside and last minute Marie didn't have time for the sticks to dry. I bought two cans of flat spray paint b/c I'm not precise or patient so I use more than necessary, but one should do the trick.

Step 3- Glam it up!

If you use a pot, think about what you want to cover the top with--you could use pine cones, jingle bells, Christmas ornaments..anything really! I went with tissue paper because I didn't want to buy anything else. I decided to use yarn I had around the house and tie them to the tree that way. Hooks, clips, ribbon etc. would work too. I added ornaments last minute and tied a ribbon at the bottom, but honestly the possibilities are endless & that is what makes it unique to you, which is FUN!
