One of the fun parts about getting older is receiving Christmas cards. I honestly really love this fact about the holidays and getting older, and I hope that next year, Andrew and I can send out our first holiday card. Of course, cards come with the dilemma of where to display and store them. That inspired me to make a holiday pegboard card holder inspired by string art!

Earlier this year, I installed a large pegboard in my office and had pieces leftover. It was the perfect supply to create a new pegboard card holder so I can easily store any cards we receive throughout the season. Because we have cats AND limited shelf/table space, the cats always knock them over if we try to display them on a surface. Despite Penny already trying to chew the disco balls off of the pegboard card holder, it seems like a much better solution! You can make one in any combination of colors to fit your style.

PS, how cute is my sister’s family in that Santa photo?!

Supplies:

  • Pegboard slap (mine is approx 18 x 24 in)
  • Paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Thick cotton string
  • Green dye
  • Mini disco balls or ornaments
  • Glue gun

Note, you can skip dyeing the string if you can find green string to begin with.

How to Turn a Pegboard into a Holiday Card Holder

Step 1: Paint the background your desired color using either a brush or a roller. Add multiple coats of paint as needed. Then let the paint dry completely.

Quick tip: I use Q-tips to clear paint drips from the holes in the pegboard. It helps to do it while it’s still very wet.

Step 2: Cut the string to approx 2 yards. Dye the string according to package instructions. Rinse and dry when you reach your desired color. I sped up this process by drying the string in a small laundry bag in my dryer.

Step 3: Once dyed and dry, it’s time to start creating the pegboard card holder design. Measure the approximate middle of the board (shorter side) and thread the string through the middle hole, 1 row from the top. Tie a thick knot at the back.

Step 4: Tightly pull the string at a diagonal. Thread through a hole near the bottom. Pull the string up and down through the holes in the pegboard, pulling the string very taught. Create a triangle shape with zig zags so there’s space to insert cards.

Step 5: When you finish the shape, tie another thick knot at the back of the board. Trim loose string.

Step 6: Glue mini disco balls or ornaments around the design. For best results, don’t let them block where you may put a holiday card.

Now you can prop up the holiday pegboard card holder on a table, or add pegboard hanging brackets to display on a wall. It’s the perfect way to enjoy all those holiday cards for the rest of the year!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
