'Tis the season! Have you received any Christmas cards yet? As Christmas rapidly approaches, you may find yourself with a rapidly growing amount of Christmas cards and it can be difficult to find space or just somewhere for them to be displayed, but fear not! Have a go at making one of these Christmas tree card and decoration stands?
Everything you will need:
Wild Canna Olive - Find in store
Bindwire Paper Covered Natural
Step One:
Using three of the bamboo sticks, start building the main frame of the tree by binding the ends together at one end and spreading the three sticks to create a triangular based pyramid. The length of the sticks will determine the height of the tree.
Step Two:
Cut three new sticks to fit near the base of the tree and bind them to the frame using paper covered wire. These new sticks will form the rails to hang your cards and decorations from.
Step Three:
Continue working your way up the frame, adding new sticks.
Step Four:
To finish, add lights and some cute little craft pegs to hang decorations or Christmas cards from.
And you're done!
If you struggle to find enough space for all of your Christmas cards then this is a great way to display them.
Happy crafting!
