Back in September, I was perusing Martha's site and I came across
this
wreath. At first I thought I could make this for free - I had
clothespins and I knew my mom had some embroidery hoops that she wasn't
using any more. After a first dismal attempt
{Martha's guide says to
use mini clothespins and I thought I could use regular ones - turns out
there isn't room for very many that way and they were too heavy to stay
on the hoop with wood glue and hot glue wasn't a long lasting solution}, I splurged on $2.24 worth of mini clothes pins and set out to remake it.
The result:

All
in all, this project probably took me 20 minutes (and half of that was
struggling with the bows - I suck at tying pretty bows) and it was
practically free.
I'm planning
to leave this up all year and just switch out the ribbon for the
appropriate season to display birthday cards and other mailed pretties.
What sorts of methods do you use to display your holiday cards?
