For this project start with jumbo craft sticks, these are going to be the base of your card holder. Start with one and put some glue on it all the way across and you're going to glue on the two other sticks end to end on top. Next you will need to paint it, use any color you would like. Put it to the side and let it dry. Next you will need to take four spring loaded clothespins and paint them. Once those have dried, you are going to attach them to the craft sticks that you already painted. You will need to glue them on facing opposite directions so that your cards don't hit each other. Now that you have your main pieces, you will want to decorate it. You can use the foam pieces that have sticky backing and place your decorations on each one of your clothespins. Also remember you can decorate the stick part as well. Once you have finished decorating you will need to add a wire hanger to the top, the handle of the hanger needs to go the top so this can be hung up. Carefully turn your card holder over and put some glue on the back, then you need to squeeze the ends of your wire close together and then put it in the glue. Hold it there till the glue completely sets. Once dry you will ba able to hang it up. |
