I love this idea and how awesome is this that most people have a deck or two that are missing cards and no longer get play time. This was first seen at Anthropologie and it is so easy to make that I thought I should share this with all of you. Great garland for trees, fireplaces and anywhere you want to hang this.
Supplies:
~Playing Cards (2 decks in two different colors)
~Sewing Machine
~Scissors (Large Circle punch, in which case you wouldn’t need the pen or glass)
~Pen
~Glass (or circle stencil)
1. Trace your circle onto your card.
2. Cut each circle out of the playing cards. It would be much easier if you had a large circle punch.
3. Sew the cards together using a straight stitch, until all cards are used.
4. Hang it up (I can’t to use this on my tree).
and
Enjoy!
Just found your blog from Joy the Baker’s giveaway and I just added you to my daily blog reads. You have the most beautiful and unique DIY talents!! I really admire your upcycling and can’t wait to see what other holiday ideas you have!
Not only do I love this idea, but the fact that this re-purposes something for cheap or free AND saves you beaucoup bucks from a hip but expensive store like Anthropoligie makes it totally rock.
