DIY holiday card displays

Holiday cards. We love to get them, but displaying them is another story. Sometimes lining them up along the mantel just looks cluttered, and a gust of wind through an open door is all it takes to send them all sailing.

Thank goodness there are creative folks out there who’ve come up with some smart and stylish alternatives. We love this little card tree that would be oh-so easy to make. Gather a few branches from the yard, place them in a pretty vase, and hang cards (smaller ones will be better) with scraps of ribbon left over from gift-wrapping sessions. Place the arrangement on an entrance hall or buffet table, or even make it your holiday centerpiece.

This lovely idea kills two birds with one stone: it displays holiday greetings neatly and beautifully and adds plenty of color and interest to holiday garland, eliminating the need for more bows, lights and ornaments.

A bit of sparkly garland draped just so, a few pretty paperclips and voila! An easy and elegant display.

We’ve seen this idea before, but we love this wide green ribbon and those perfect bows. Go Martha.
