This is an oldie ~ but a goody!
Martha first published this DIY project in her 2002 issue of Martha Stewart Living. I was feeling a little crafty, but with the Holidays approaching I didn't have a whole lot of extra cash lying around to run out and buy a whole bunch of items for a project. This was right up my alley. Plus, I LOVE receiving Christmas cards, but I could never think of a clever {and lovely} way to display all of them.
Here's what Martha says about the project:
Decorate a wall or an interior door by hanging a holiday-card wreath. Using *wood glue, affix miniature wooden clothespins to a large (about 14-inch-diameter) embroidery hoop. Alternate clothespins to point outward and inward, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. Suspend from a ribbon, and clip your cards in place as you receive them.
*I used a hot glue gun and it worked like a charm!
Fun Fact: This project is CHEAP! I had the ribbon and hot glue lying around the house, so all I needed to buy were some small clothespins and an embroidery loop. I bought everything at Michael's for under $3!
Here's my Pin-up Wreath! I think it's so great ~ and I will be using it in years to come. I love that all you need to do to "update" the style is to switch out the ribbon to match your decor or taste.
Looking for a last-minute {and inexpensive} gift for a loved one this Christmas? Consider making this lovely Holiday wreath!
