Friendzy Friday With Shelby!


Holiday Card Doorhanger

We haven't made it to Halloween yet and already my thoughts are turning to the next big holiday........... Christmas. I've come up with a little project that will put your holiday cards out of the way and on display.

Supplies you'll need:

~Various raw chipboard shapes, anything will do: squares, circles,trees, snowflakes. I've used Fancy Pants. Depending on size, 3-5 shapes will work and you will need one smaller chipboard piece to anchor the bottom.
~Glossy accents, ink, stickles, glitter pen, glimmer mist,paint etc
~Holiday papers (I've used Fancy Pants Christmas Magic), rubons and embellishments
~coordinating wide shear ribbon



To assemble:

~Cover shapes in papers and embellishments.

~Use a cropodile to punch a hole top and bottom of each chipboard shape (on the small anchor piece punch a hole only on the top)
~Use a metal embellishment on the back of the anchor piece to weigh down the bottom

~Make a loop in your ribbon at the top and thread through holes leaving some ribbon exposed between each chipboard shape
TIP: tape the end of your ribbon so it looks like a shoelace, it will make it much easier to thread through the small holes


~Tie ribbon off at the top of the anchor piece of chipboard

Hang anywhere and use paperclips on the inside of your cards to attach to the ribbon
