Decorating with Christmas Cards
There are so many gorgeous Christmas cards that go through the mail these days, each one is in itself a work of art. They’re far too beautiful to just set in a pile somewhere. Instead use them as part of your actual holiday decor to display your beautiful cards and make the house just a bit more Christmasy.
One of the easiest ways to decorate with Christmas cards to run them around a doorway or windowsill. Just affix a little bit of masking tape the back of each one and tape it to the frame of the window or the door. Cards also look good lining a fireplace mantle. Basically you create a “garland” of Christmas cards.
If you’re one of those people who gets a lot of Christmas cards every year, then you’ll be able to hang them as they come in and watch your “garland” get bigger as the season goes on. If you only tend to get a few every year, build a collection by saving your favorites each season. (I’m particularly partial to shiny cards, so they always end up my favorites pile after Christmas). Soon you’ll have more than enough to create a lovely Christmas card “garland” that you can enjoy year after year.
And when the holidays are over, just store the cards in a shoebox until it’s time to pull them out for the next season!
