Decorotive wall art for almost nothing!
If like me you love postcards, but have no room to keep them then this is for you! I admit it i LOVE post cards, i have collected over 100 of them. But all they did was sit on my shelf begging to be looked at.
So i decided to put then out for the world to see!

Step 1
Collect up post cards (you can find them at some cloth-shops and cafes, most are free because they are actually pocket size adds, the ones you get from friends and holidays can be really good because it turns into a memory wall), paper clips,and a hole punch.
Step 2
Set out post cards, note that all the postcards should be all landscape or all portrait, or a pattern of both.
Step 3
Now punch a hole in they bottom and top of post cards.Accept for the one on the end of design, only punch a hole in the top of that one. A good way to make sure the holes in the post cards line up with each other is to, punch the holes in post card A and then place it over post card B so the edges line up and then punch holes in post card B were post card A holes are. If you get what I'm saying
Step 4
Connect Postcards with paper clips, one in each loop. You can use loops but paperclips are much cheaper. You can use rainbow or white or a pattern of colors.
Step 5
You can make as many strands as you like of any length or pattern. The options are endless!If you get bored with a certain postcard you can just take it off and replace it with a different one!
Step 6
Now stick them the boring sad plain wall and.................. WOOHOOO!! It is no longer boring or plain >.<
