You may remember this tall, skinny bi-fold door that I found on the curb a couple of months ago. As soon as I saw this door, I knew exactly what I would do with it. Most of my bi-folding doors are not so skinny.
I cleaned it up, and spray painted it with primer (not shown) Then I spray painted the outer portions green, and brushed on several coats of red paint on the slats.
This is a closeup of it holding my Christmas cards. (hello Michigan cousins!)
This shows the back. The card is held in place by a colorful (spray painted) clothes pin.
Sorry for the poor picture, I don’t have a picture with the flash off.I love to repurpose shutters or bi-fold doors into useful items like this Christmas Card Holder

Great idea….I did the same thing basically, but flipped it upside down and slide the bottom of the photos into the slots….and the cards won’t slide out! Great job!
That’s so cute!! It’s the perfect width for the cards. That’s a great idea!
I’ve seen that done before, but not ever as nicely as you’ve done here.
Love it!

Great find and great way to use it!
Did you ever find out if you can get any of the stuff in the house from your last post? It looks like a gold mine of projects!:)
**By the way…got the brush in the mail..can’t wait to use it!!
Thanks!!

I had already decided to move my Christmas card display this year, this is a great idea. (Give-away today on my blog.)
