Quick memo board- shutter magic

Shutters and letters go together like peanut butter and sandwich bread! Shutters make great paper sorters and letter holders, as well as holiday card displays.

With a little ribbon, a few stitches, and a great big shutters, you can make this:

Simply thread the ribbon around the louvers and secure with some stitches or glue, then add some hanging hardware- I used a sawtooth hook- and finally add some clothes pins to pin up your wedding invitations, holiday cards, happy notes!
