First you need to gather your materials. I copied Stephanie and used 2 pieces of cardboard for the front and back cover. I love that I didn't need to buy anything for this project! (Except a $0.99 hole punch because mine was at school.) I
Next, punch holes in the front and back cover using your hole punch. In order to make sure my cards lined up, I used the front cover as a template and marked where I wanted to punch holes on each card. This part was probably the most time consuming but only took about 5 minutes. Easy peasy!
Finally, bind everything together! You can use whatever you want to do this. Stephanie used twine and I've also seen ribbon. I didn't have twine so I went with binder rings (plus I can easily add cards that way if needed). Originally I was going to use some yarn I had but I realized that threading it through each and every card was going to be too tedious for me! Here's my finished product. I think it will be fun to get it out again next year! :)
I'm linking up with Stephanie (obviously) and Katie today!

I think it looks great! I so wish I'd sent out more Christmas cards (so I'd have RECEIVED more cards) and could make one of these this year! haha :P
