Don’t you love all of the Christmas cards that start coming in the mail about this time? I do, but I don’t love the mess it creates on the mantle.

So, here is a creative solution and a fun and easy way to show off your cards.

Needed Materials:

  • Wide ribbon in a festive color
  • Scissors
  • Wall adhesive tape
  • Small clothespins
  • Christmas cards to show off

Instructions:

  1. Cut two feet of ribbon. For a finished look, notch each end. Fold one end of the ribbon lengthwise and snip on the diagonal. Repeat this on the other end.
  2. Hang the ribbon. Using a small piece of wall adhesive tape, stick one end of your strip of ribbon to the wall (or any flat surface) so that it hangs vertically. If you’re using multiple strips, space them about a foot apart, at whatever height you desire.
  3. Attach cards to the ribbon. Using small clothespins (you can find them at any craft store, like Michael’s), attach the cards to the ribbon. This will keep the cards in place and make it easy to add or move cards as new ones arrive.
