Snowman Holiday Card Holder

by Abbey

For years I have struggled with what to do with my holiday cards. Typically they just get taped up to the side of my refrigerator until after NYE and then I take them down and toss them put them in a memory box to cherish for a lifetime ;). I always felt like I should get something to display them on or to hold them, but I’ve never really seen anything that I liked all that much. Then a few weeks ago I was inspired by a embroidery hoop snowman, but the one I wanted to make would involve cork boards and cards and thus the Snowman Holiday Card Holder was born.

I will use this fella to display my holiday cards this year. He wasn’t terribly hard to make and I know that I can use him for a long time from here on out.

Here’s what you need to make him:
3 embroidery hoops (large, medium, small)
3 cork tiles (sold in packs of 4 at the craft store)
white felt (I bought 1/2 yard of it and had tons left over)
black felt, orange felt, and red/green felt in sheets
2 medium sized googly eyes
2 sticks (I bought the stocks at Joann’s)
Hot Glue
Scissors
Box Knife
Cutting Board
Pen

Steps:
1. Trace your embroidery hoops onto the cork tiles with a pen.

2. Use a box knife and cutting board to cut your cork tiles into the circle shapes. **Don’t be worried about this, isn’t not hard**

3. Once all your tiles are cut out, cut off 3 pieces of white felt that are squares a little bigger than your cork circle.

4. Then take your cork tile and felt and insert it into the embroidery hoop making sure it’s pushed in there tightly and fits well (it may take some adjusting).

5. I then took hot glue and glued the felt side of the cork tile to the inside of the embroidery hoop. I did a couple layers of glue to make sure it was nicely secured. I then followed up with another layer of hot glue on the layer between the cork and the felt so that the cork wouldn’t fall out of the felted layer either. So two layers of glue, one outside the felt and one inside the felt line.

6. After the glue dries, cut the excess felt off the circle and repeat with the other two embroidery hoops.

7. From there, you need to start working on decorating the front of your snowman. I started by connecting all the 3 pieces together, something I WOULD NOT recommend because it makes decorating it all the harder. I would recommend waiting until the end to connect your 3 hoops. I connected them by taking rectangles of felt and gluing them to the back of each hoop, so I connected the large and medium together with one felt rectangle with tons of hot glue and then I connected the medium and small hoop together with another rectangle of felt and tons of hot glue.

8. After that I flipped it over and added 4 black felt buttons going up the front (2 on the middle hoop and 2 on the bottom hoop). I made 5 small black felt “buttons” and added them to make the mouth. I made a triangle out of orange felt for the nose and I added 2 googly eyes. I also cut out a hat from the black felt and added a red strip of fabric with a red felt rosette and little green leaves. I glued the hat to the top of the small hoop. Lastly I took a piece of green felt, divided it into 3rd’s long ways and cut it. Then I glued 2 pieces together and wrapped it around the snowman’s neck like a scarf. I cut little slits into the bottom piece to make it more scarf like, as well.

(As you can see, the snowman was thirsty LOL)
9. After the front was decorated and glued down, I switched back the back and added 3 more rectangles of felt. Two rectangles were added to the middle hoop on the sides to slide my sticks into (so the length is adjustable). I just cut the rectangles and glued down the 3 sides and left the top open to slide the stick into). Then I added another rectangle at the top to use as something to hook onto.
10. Then I hung my snowman onto my door so I could start displaying my Christmas cards on it! Start sending me your Christmas cards people! 🙂 I have a “space” for them this year.
What do YOU guys use to display YOUR Christmas cards?!
