Christmas Card Holder


Each year I look forward to December and receiving Christmas cards. I love real mail delivered by the mail man. Moreover, I enjoy sending mail almost as much as discovering a hand written card in the mailbox.

Last year I made this Christmas card hanger that is strung up above the couch in the living room. I made the letters using old book pages, pipe cleaners and letters I printed from Picnik.

The Christmas cards are secured to the picture hanging wire with these tiny clothespins.

A large vase filled with Grandma’s vintage Christmas ornaments and some battery operated lights to add more cheer to the room.
