Quick and Easy Christmas Card Display

I love Christmas cards!  Sadly this year, I didn’t get it together to send any out but I love receiving them all the same.  Especially photo cards.  Any photo card is wonderful but I’ll admit it – I love the ones with cute little baby photos on them the best.

Because I love them so much, I have a big pile of photo cards from years past that I have saved in a drawer on our buffet.  While I love that I still have them, I hate that they are buried in a drawer that I never open.

I had been vaguely thinking how it would be a good idea to drag them out of the drawer.  A lot of times my ideas never get past this “I should really…” stage.  But this time I happened to come across just the inspiration I needed to take some action.

I came across a photo of a simple string Christmas tree on the wall and knew I had to create my own to hold Christmas cards.  

And since I never got around to putting anything Christmas-y on the little chalkboard wall in our kitchen, it seemed like the perfect spot.  Of course you can create your own Christmas card tree anywhere – I just like the dark background the chalkboard gives it.

How to make a quick and easy Christmas card display

Y’all, this project was perfect. The only supplies you need are some chunky yarn and glittery washi tape and I seriously finished the whole thing in about thirty minutes.  (It would have been way faster but I’m a total perfectionist and I kept repositioning the ‘branches’.)

All you do is tape your yarn onto the wall in a Christmas tree shape. And if you want to get fancy, you can use your tape to add a trunk at the bottom and a star at the top.  Then just tape up your Christmas cards wherever you want.  Easy peasy!

I love it – especially the gold glitter washi tape!  How do you display your Christmas cards?  And does anyone else save those adorable photo cards every year?
