Garland Christmas Card Holder

 

I love getting Christmas cards in the mail.  (And, I’m doing my best to get ours addressed!)  So, in an attempt to enjoy them more throughout the season, I hung garland around one of our doorways where I could attach and display the cards.

I just started with a piece of fake garland, hung by two small nails on the top of our doorframe.  Once it was up, I decided it looked a little more fake than I wanted it to, so I brought in some branches from outside and wired them to the garland.

I’m just using paper clips to attach the cards:

I had some leftover greenery that I had already cut, so I put them in a bowl and mixed in those faux succulents (from Hobby Lobby) that I love:

I love the way our card display looks when you come in the front door.  Now, I’m just waiting for more cards :)

Abby reminded me of how much I’ve always liked this idea when she included it in her Christmas Decorating 101 series Pop over to her blog for more great ideas:

 

 

 

 

Do you display your Christmas cards?
