Every Year We Get A Bundle Of Photo Christmas Cards & Every Year I Struggle With The Best Place To Put Them. I Have Seen Christmas Card Card Holders In The Stores, But I Haven't Liked Any Of Them, So I Googled It & Found This One I Liked On Etsy.
Cute, Right?!
So, Instead Of Purchasing It For $32, I Made One for $8!!!
All I Had To Do Was Purchase The Star (which was on sale at JoAnn Fabrics)! I Had The Rest One Hand!!
Here is What I Did.....
My Supplies Consisted of Burlap Ribbon, Light & Dark Jute Twine, A Star, 1 Jingle Bell, Ribbon & Clothes Pins
I Couldn't Decide Up Front Which Ribbon To Use, So I Pulled Out These 3 & Played Around With Them
These Jingle Bells I Had Already Purchased From JoAnn Fabric's for $5 For Another Project & They Worked Perfect For This One!!
I Started With The Star...
I'll Be Honest With You....I Hate Doing Bows!!! I'm Not Good At Them & They Take Me Forever....This One Took Me 30 Min!!! Just This 1 Bow!!!
After I Finally Finished The Bow, I Glued It On & Then Glued On My Jingle Bell
My Jingle Bell Conveniently Came With Jute Twine, So I Just Cut Off The Part Where It's Tied Together & Used It As Extra Decor To The Piece!
Then I Cut The Ends of My Ribbon At An Angle & Trimmed Up The Jute Pieces
I Cut My Burlap Ribbon by Measuring Out How Long I Wanted It To Go, So Basically, I Eye-Balled The Length & Cut
Then Using My Hot Glue Gun, I Glued The Top Of The Light Jute Twine Pieces To The Burlap Strip
I Then Glued The Whole Burlap Strip To The Back Of The Star. I Love Hot Glue Because It's Easy & You Can Spread It Around With The Tip Of The Gun!
I Trimmed Up The Corners So There Wouldn't Be Any Burlap Showing Out of The Sides
Then I Cut The Bottom Of My Burlap Strip So Each Side Came To A Point
The I Hung It & Ta-Da!!!
