It’s that time of year when checking the mailbox is so fun, anticipating all the great greetings from friends and family. Over the years, I’ve struggled with how to display them, so they often ended up just sitting in Christmas baskets. But, I was never quite happy with that. Now, I’ve finally found a solution I love–a way to incorporate all those special messages, photos, and cute cards as part of our Christmas decor – a ribbon Christmas card holder! The tutorial was originally posted as part of the Homemade Christmas series over at The Scrap Shoppe. It’s a festive project that’s easy & inexpensive to make, yet functional & cute – a definite win-win! So without further ado, here’s the tutorial I shared on how to make an over-the-door ribbon Christmas card holder:

Makes me think of Steel Magnolias where they had something similar in the background. Love.
This turned out so great, and I love the over-the-door design. I featured you today on my favorite things 🙂

So cute!

That is so cute, it really makes a festive decoration.
That is so clever. I usually clip my cards to the dining room window curtain, but I may try this this year.
Very cute! Wish I had a door other than my front door to put it on! 😉
Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka,

Did you use ribbon with wire or just plain ribbon? Thanks!
Hi Beth,
This does have wired-ribbon to help it hold it’s shape a little better! But we still use it like 6 years later! 🙂
