Christmas Card Wreath Display

I usually display the Christmas cards we receive by taping them around the doors. But the cards tend to fall down and repeatedly need retaping. So I decided to come up with a different way to display them. I decided to make a wreath. Here's what I used to make them:
18" Floral & Craft Ring = $3.99
Red Velvet Bow = $.79
10 yards of Wired Ribbon = $3.99 (I used half for the wreath.)
50 clothespins = $1.30
It was really easy to make. I wrapped the ribbon around the craft ring and then hot glued it in place. I attached the bow in the middle. I also attached another piece of ribbon to tie it to the light fixture.
I used the clothespins to attach the cards. I kept them natural but you probably could paint them a matching color.

That's a cute idea. I've been covering our refrigerator and this little ledge we have with cards. Of course, as of right now, we only have a few.

Great idea! I was just going through our cards today and trying to come up with a place to put them, other than on a pile on our kitchen counter. I might have to try this!
