Easy Ribbon Christmas Card Holder

I am preparing to host a Christmas Cookie Decorating Play-date and have been trying to decorate and organize a little more.  Today I decided I would make a Christmas Card holder out of ribbon over one of the door frames.  Usually our cards are lined up on the piano and fall down and eventually become a big mess.  

This was so easy to do.  It might have taken 10-15 minutes tops. 

Supplies needed:  A lot of ribbon, I am guessing 15-20 yards depending on the size of your door frame and if you make bows or not.  I have a 50 yard roll of brown ribbon with Christmas trees printed on it that I bought at Sam's Club on clearance years ago.  You will also need clear thumbtacks to hang the ribbon and paperclips or clothespins to clip the cards onto the ribbon.  I have some nice clear clips that worked perfectly for attaching the cards.  

This was super easy to do, but I did have the help of my husband who is a pretty good bow maker from his years of teaching floral design in his horticulture program.  I simply tacked the ribbon to the molding, then tacked up the bows.  Then I clipped the cards onto the ribbon.  I think it looks so pretty and now we can really enjoy our Christmas cards.  It was such a bonus too that I didn't have to trek out in our deep snow and fight the Christmas shopping crowds to find the supplies.  I had everything on hand.
