DIY Christmas Card Display Ideas
My first cards of the season have started arriving in the mail and this year I’m looking for some new inspiration on how to display them. For the last few years, I’ve hung them on a simple bit of baker’s twine, suspended between my kitchen & living room, but maybe I’ll spice things up a little for 2011. What do you think?
Here are a few cute ideas I’ve had my eye on:
01. A sweet & classic Christmas Card tree. So simple to make!
02. Pretty cards hung on a hall mirror, perhaps with vintage tinsel. Lovely!
03. This stunning Christmas card wreath could definitely be used throughout the year for other occasions.
04. Cute red ribbon design for the back of a door. Would be cute on a closet, or even bedroom doors down a hallway.
05. Another great display using clothespins. Pretty!
I’m leaning toward that last one for my hallway. I just removed an ugly wooden banister, but the remaining staircase edge could use some prettying up! Do you keep cards from previous years? I like to cut up old ones for new gift tags — a little trick my mom taught me!
What do you do with all of your Christmas cards, folks?

I have hung cards from the wreath on my stair case. Looks nice!
@MusingsfromMe/Jill, Awe, nice idea!
@Desiree Fawn, I wish my staircase were in a more open place to do this. It’s off the kitchen and you wouldn’t notice it much if I did this. I DO want to try the first one with the branches. I already know the perfect place for it!
I hang the cards on a garland around the door, similar to on the stairway. Love the way it looks. I usually use paperclips, never thought of clothespins. Really like the ribbons on doors idea.
@julie/just precious, Paperclips would be a great idea too!
Fabulous idea for Christmas Cards!
What beautiful ideas! That’s what you can find when browsing around Social Media!
I started saving Christmas cards a couple of years ago, since I got a few pretty ones, which was handmade and very catchy. Now I see what I can do with them – other than saving them in a box. Thx for the tips!
@Inga, We’re glad you like them!
LOVE these! Makes me wish I had a staircase again!!
I simply tape ours to the kitchen pantry door. Not as lovely as some of these ideas!
I’ve been looking for ideas for Christmas decorations. I am happy I’ve stumbled over your post. Thanks.
