I made this garland in about five minutes. I love that.
To make this you will need an odd number of cards and some ribbon.I bought these three cards for 25 cents each.
Tools - scissors and a hole punch
Punch holes in the corners...
String the ribbon through...
And you have a quick and inexpensive vintage post card garland.

Janet this is lovely! I have a big ole vintage white framed mirror on my mantle too, and this project looks just perfect for that spot. Thanks for linking up this week :)
ReplyDeleteYour garland looks perfect with your mantle and mirror. That's my kind of project. Quick, easy, and adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh I love vintage postcards!! Where did you ever manage to get them for 25 cents each? That is such a great deal. Most of the antique stores I've seen them in usually want at least a few dollars (sometimes up to $4.00 if they're especially cute). I love your idea though! They look so sweet and charming hanging over your mantle like that. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I have several vintage Christmas postcards so I'm going to make one of these! Thanks for the inspiration.
