Postcard mobile

A mobile made of postcards clipped to a wreath form

When I participated in the Disney College Program, I made some lifelong friends. After we went our separate ways, scattering across the country, we decided we would exchange postcards. Sometimes we send them when we’re in the places we visit, and sometimes we send giant envelopes collecting a year or five’s worth of missives.

This year, I decided that it was a shame these postcards and the cards I’ve received from other friends lived in a box where I never looked at them. Postcards are tiny art pieces that can carry someone’s love across a great distance. They deserve to be seen.

In an attempt to make these postcards come to life, I found a way to suspend them from the ceiling in my office. I used a wreath form and with some assistance, wired three hoops together. Then I took some wire and twisted it to clips on either end. Clip one end to the hoop and the other end to a card, and voila!
