Christmas Card Display...

I love, LOVE, love getting Christmas cards, especially ones with photos!  This time of year, it's fun to go to your mailbox and hopefully find a Christmas card or two waiting for you.  I've never had a good place to display my cards tho.  Last year I hot glued them to a piece of green/ black ribbon that hung down my pantry door.  That worked well.  But, this year, I found an even better idea!  Once I saw this over at Clover Lane, I knew I had to try it! 


Here's what you'll need:



And here's what you do:

Put the lanyards (sp ?) on the beaded string and then hang it up.
As you receive your Christmas cards, punch a hole in them, and hang them up on a laynard.  You can add some pretty ribbon for decoration too.  It's fun and easy and we all love looking at the cards. 







We also added a few Christmas stars that we made out of kite paper.  (You may remember that we made these over the summer as one of our summer crafts.)

Merry Christmas Gretchen! I love this Christmas card display... maybe I will make it next year ;)
Thank you for your Christmas card. I have misplaced your address (our computer crashed and it was on it!) so I would love it if you would send me it again so I can mail you our card to hang on the cute display of yours! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Thinking of you often!
Love,
Katherine
