Any project that uses things you have on hand is a winner! I have tons of Christmas cards saved over the years for either the sentiment of the graphic, but it isn't practical to display them all. This project saves the day, and love the addition of buttons. For a different take, you could add tiny bows or sequins for a bit of sparkle! Or weave some festive ribbon around the Popsicle sticks, or even paint the sticks to pick up a color on the card. Fun!
