Posts Tagged ‘displaying christmas cards’

I’ve been looking for a way to display all the Christmas cards we receive each year.

In years past they’ve been lined up along the back of my entry table…. and looked a real mess.   I’ve seen a few solutions that cost money, too much money.

Then I spotted this Land of Nod Holiday Work of Art Clips in my last catalog.  It looked like a perfect way to display our cards.  It also looked like something I could make myself.

I was able to pick up the necessary supplies at my local craft store.  I was even able to use a 50% coupon, so the project cost me around $2.

First step was to add the picture hanging clip to the back.

Then I painted the acrylic paint in white and let it dry.  Then I drew the peppermint candy swirls with a pencil.  Then painted in the red.

Tie on thin ribbon or twine.
And hang it up on the wall.  I did consider painting my mini clothes pins.  But I’m still not sure I want to.  I kind of like the natural.

I am going to make a second row to hold the kids holiday art.  I love my new card hanger!  It was easy, inexpensive and looks just how I hoped.
