You will need 2 old pallet boards, I used some that was 52" long and 5 1/2" wide. You can also used some Dog-Ear Fence Picket boards. Or any other old boards.

Some Nails

3/4" Long screws

Binder clips, bought at the Dollar tree

Drill or screwdriver

Tape Measure

Pencil or Pen

Nail the 2 boards using some shorter pieces of wood. Leave a space in between the boards, as shown in the pictures.

Step 2

Measure the center of one of the boards, mark and measure down about a 1/2" to 3/4". This is where you are going to attach one of the binder clips with a screw. Either using a drill or screw driver. Then attach one of the longest Christmas cards, then measure from the bottom of it, about 1/4" or 3/8". Then attach another binder clip, just keep doing this. It should look like the last picture.

Finished

Once finished, hang your Christmas cards on it. My Mom loved it.

This is a easy project, that anyone can make with a few tools and supplies.
