I think this is one of those projects that I liked better in theory than I am in practice. It’s just not getting the wow factor I was looking for – I think it needs more dimension, or some jute or ribbon to give it more texture. Anyways, here’s what I did:
I Mod Podge’d holiday scrapbook paper to a bunch of mini-clothespins, and lightly sanded the edges. Then I strung up some 18-gauge wire to the garland hooks over our mantle. Then I just attached the cards and announcements we’ve received so far this season (plus the Christmas cards I made with my Mom), using the embellished clothespins. Instant card garland!
What do you think – needs something more?
I just made a bunch of clothespins like this over the weekend. I made mine into magnets for the fridge but I LOVE your idea of using them for garland! TFS!
that is such a cute idea! i may have to steal this one as i have no idea yet where i will put my cards.
