Crafty DIY Idea to Display Holiday Cards

A grid of festive ribbon within a repurposed picture frame creates pseudo gallery for all your holiday greetings.  This is a great craft for all cards, but I especially love it for photo Christmas cards.  So fun to have your family and friends decorating your walls duign the holidays! 

Supplies

Repurposed frame
Wrapping paper
Ribbon
Tape (regular and double-sided)
Scissors
Tape measure

Directions

Step 1: Remove picture and glass from your frame. Wrap the glass in your favorite wrapping paper or a style that matches your decor.

Step 2: Cut strips of ribbon the length and width of the wrapped glass adding a couple of inches to each. Stretch the ribbon pieces horizontally and vertically across the frame at evenly-spaced intervals.

Step 3: Tape the ends to the back of glass to secure.

Step 4: Place wrapped glass back in frame and hang on your wall.

Step 5: Hang folded cards from the horizontal ribbon. Use double-sided tape or push pins to attach flat cards.

Tip

In addition to cards, add other embellishments such as a cardboard monogram or small ornament to decorate the display. And if you have an old frame that isn't being used, paint it a fun holiday color before adding the card display.
