Our house doesn’t have a good place to display holiday cards. Our fireplace mantel is occupied by an antique sled and we don’t have very many flat surfaces that aren’t occupied by my piles of crap very important papers.
When I was looking through our old craft boxes for the knitting things to send my daughter (hopefully she put down the needles long enough to study for her finals!) I came across a bag of wooden clothespins. They gave me the idea to make this easy holiday card display. I hit up Michael’s for the few other things I would need:
- silver spray paint
- a holiday garland
- small holiday stickers
First, I sprayed the clothespins with metallic silver spray paint. I followed the directions and sprayed, dried, and turned, until they had a nice even coat on all visible surfaces.
In between coats, I unwound the garland and arranged the branches.
When the clothespins were dry, I decorated them with some festive holiday stickers.
This is a great step for kids to help with!
The next-to-last step was to pin a test card to see how it looks.
Perfect!
The garland was easy to hang–I chose a bare window in our family room, and now it is a festive focal point.
How do you display holiday cards?

This is so cute! We have a Christmas wall hanging for holding cards, but then you can't see them… I might have to try this!
What a FABULOUS idea! So pretty and festive. I have a similar problem–no where to display cards. Definitely doing this. Thanks!
What a great idea. So pretty!
When we were living on the sailboat, I would just tape the cards to the wall – not sure what we will do this year. Love your idea.
Wow super cute! I'm bad: I just tape ours to the trim in a doorway.
Hmmm. You must have better tape than we do!
YOUR CRAFT IS SUPERB. THESE ARE LOOKING SUPERB AND AWESOME.
You still get cards? People must LIKE you 🙂
So creative! We have sliding glass doors in our living room with additional large windows on each side and I just tape holiday cards to the windows. Not very fancy, but that's how it goes. Considering most Hanukkah decorations are cheesy, it all kind of works. 🙂
