“Big doors swing on little hinges.”
– W. Clement Stone
A few years back, I went to a craft fair and saw a vintage hinge business card holder and knew, I would need to “make” one.
I don’t remember what booth, or even what fair it was, but the premise is quite simple and we are sharing it as we begin this month’s UPCYCLE SHARIN CHALLENGE!
SUPPLIES
Note – We use affiliate links that share the same or similar products used. We could receive a small amount if a purchase is made. You can read our full disclosure policy here.
- *Vintage Hinge
- Two Screws
- Tape
- Any Decorations You Like
*Be sure the hinge stays up when propped up.
INSTRUCTIONS
- This really couldn’t be an easier. We just added two screws to the holes on either side of the bottom of the hinge so the cards would stand up right.
- Tape the screws in place.
- Turn the holder upright, bling it out if you like, and add your cards.
Embarrassingly simple, right?
As mentioned above, this is to kick off the February Upcycle Sharin Challenge. This months sponsor is D. Lawless Hardware. Whether you are updating cabinets or furniture, one of the best ways to give a refresh is with new hardware.
