Are you receiving Christmas cards yet? We got our first a few days ago and it’s been hanging out on my shelf since then. This morning, I decided it needed a new home. I wanted something small, but still cute. ALSO, I wanted something I could hang on to past Christmas. Perhaps something to hang my Instax photos from? Mmmhmmm!<\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/b>
\nrandom thin tree branch (this one is about 11″ long)
\nyarn (I used regular worsted weight for stick-wrapping and some fine weight cotton for hanging)
\ntiny clothespins
\ncards! and\/or photos!
\nother: scissors, pin or nail to hang the holder from\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"01\"<\/a><\/center>
\n1. Tie a knot and start wrapping up your branch.
\n2. After about an inch or so, tie on your second color and start wrapping.
\n3. Wrap the second color around your branch AND the first color’s tail.
\n4. Keep wrapping, alternating colors (OR keep it solid OR add more colors). When you get to the end, cut off about 2 feet of your last color and tie a knot on the branch.<\/p>\n

\"02\"<\/a><\/center>
\n5. Your excess yarn should be able to reach across to the other side of the stick. 2 feet is what I used for my 11″ branch.
\n6. Tie your yarn around the other end of the branch. Trim any excess.<\/p>\n

\"03\"<\/a><\/center>
\n7. Grab your finer weight yarn and cut a piece about 18″ long. Tie a knot an inch from the end. Thread the yarn through the spring of your clothespin.
\n8. Tie another knot (large enough to not slip through the spring) and thread more pins. Leave about 4-5″ between each pin.
\n9. When you have about 4″ left, tie your string of pins around the branch. <\/p>\n

Make another string of clothespins and tie around your branch as well. Hang and enjoy!<\/p>\n
