Easy & Festive Christmas Card Display Ideas…
Isn’t it wonderful when the Christmas cards start rolling in? It’s such a fun way to catch up with friends and families near and far. If you’re like us, then one thing that always seems a struggle is figuring out a pretty way to display the Christmas cards.
Usually, ours end up heaped into a corner of a table somewhere, never to be looked at again. It’s a sad ending for these cards that have taken our loved ones so long to create and send.
This year, I was determined that the cards would meet a better fate. I gathered up 50+ Christmas card display ideas to help all of us find a better way to hold and display those Christmas cards! I hope you find a few you love.
And if you’re on the hunt for other fun, festive seasonal DIY’s, be sure to check out these articles, too!
