From my friends and loved ones, I really look forward to receiving Christmas cards and pictures each year. All the year, sometimes I get this time as the only time to see them all. So displaying card is what I really love to do, but on my mantle flat photo cards do not stand up on their own which is send by more and more people. That’s the main reason that with my Christmas card hanger, I came up. To make this card is quite easy and quick and the best part is that it can be hung anywhere even in the vertical position.

Things needed for Christmas card Garland:
- Small wooden clothespins

1. With your acrylic paint and foam brush, paint your mini clothespins in that color which perfectly coordinates with your patterned papers and then allow them to dry.
2. Onto the patterned paper, trace your clothespin and then cut out. For each clothespin cut one.
3. On one side of the clothespin, apply a light coat of Mod Podge by using a foam brush and then attach rectangles on one of your patterned paper. With your thumb smooth it out.
4. To the top of each clothespin, on the paper side, attach a button with the help of hot glue towards the end where to open the pin where you pinch.
