I hope this Holiday season your home will shine and it totally will with the Christmas “All That Glitters” ChallengeLalo here and today I want to share these quick and easy DIY holiday holders made all glittery and beautified thanks to this months challenge.

1

Use them for displaying all your lovely cards and beautiful pictures, or as custom place seating for dinner parties.

Here’s the things you’ll need (see below for a full supply list):

2

Now let’s get started!

First, you’re going to glue the bottom of your cork to the magnet.  This is just to make the base stable.

3

Once the glue dries you make a whole into the middle of the cork using a needle and pliers.  This will make inserting the wire easier.

4

Next you’re going to take the wire by one end and wrap it around the cylinder twice.  Then wrap the short end around the long end to form a knot.

5

Now using gentle pressure and your pliers, insert the wire into the whole you made with the needle earlier.  Go a little at a time to make sure you don’t bend the wire.

6

The last step is to gather up your glittery ribbon and start beautifying your holder.

7

Here’s how I gussied these up

8

To use your display just insert your paper creation between the two wires.
