How to Make Your Own Christmas Card Holder

by Monica J. Miller

Step 1

Place half of the clothespins on a sheet of newspaper and spray paint them red, covering both the wood and the metal. On another sheet of newspaper, spray the remaining clothespins green. Let them dry.
Step 2

Turn the clothespins over and paint the other sides using the same method. Let them dry.
Step 3

Cut the rolled cork sheet in half lengthwise. Pin the cork strips to the wall with gold thumbtacks.
Step 4

Stretch gold metallic yarn lengthwise across each cork strip. Pin the metallic yarn in place with gold angel lapel pins.
Step 5

Clip the clothespins onto the line of metallic yarn. Place them about six inches apart, alternating red and green colors.
Step 6

Clip Christmas cards onto the clothespins.
