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?

    I am not usually a DIYer but after viewing your blog, I sure plan to try doing some of your ideas. The way you describe what you do and what problems you face and then show the outcome is admirable. CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
