How To Make a Christmas Card Wreath

Christmas Card Love 💖

I love Christmas cards. I love giving them, with a note for each family we’re sending to. I love receiving them and seeing all the different card designs. I used to have a cute wall hanger with pockets for the cards. I kept it by the front door so I could see them multiple times every day and smile as I remember each family member and friend.

But then we moved. And if you’ve moved before, you know what’s coming.

It’s gone. Into the black hole of “the move ate my stuff.“

So I had to get creative when Christmas rolled around that year.

Meanwhile, I had a homemade wreath that clearly had seen better days. The little yarn “holly berries” were falling off and would not stay put, no matter how much glue I used. I set the wreath aside, loathe to part with something I made when my kids were young and money was tight.

While it sat aside, Christmas cards piled up.

Then an idea struck. 💡

The wreath could be repurposed! I grabbed straight pins and started pinning the cards around the wreath.

My new card display was born! I was able to display all the cards, with minimal space, and still see my wreath.

Christmas Card Wreath Instructions

Love this idea? The wreath is super simple to make*.

Buy a styrofoam wreath base.
Find green yarn and wrap the yarn around the base.
Use sparkly red yarn to form a hanger. A simple loop will do; you can see we looped several times.
Don’t forget the straight pins for affixing the cards to the wreath. Choose the best place on the card so people can read it and see the maximum number of cards.
Ta-da! You have a card holder.
