A Display for Christmas Cards and Ornaments
There is just something so special about Christmas cards. I know we don’t get very…
I had this piece of wood that I had previously used as a Halloween decoration but I also wanted to reuse it for Christmas. After all, for anything to survive in my home, it has to be multi-functional. I had painted this piece of wood using chalkboard paint and curated it by covering it with chalk. You can see a tutorial of that process here when I did my holiday signs.
I had wrapped twine around the top and bottom of the board and just cleaned it up a bit to get rid of the fake blood and spookiness.
Boy I really exhausted myself. The next step was to attach my homemade ornaments. I used ribbon for that.

And speaking of chalkboard, I have this wall next to the front entrance. I dressed it up for Christmas.
I hope you enjoyed my display for Christmas cards and ornaments. Do you have a special place where you display your cards for the Holidays?

Mary,
This is such a good idea. I agree, Christmas cards are so special in this digital age. I need something like this!
Much Love,

This is such a wonderful idea for displaying cards Mary
I was just writing about the same thing. Since people don’t send out cards anymore. When I get one they have so much more meaning knowing that someone took the time to write a special note in their own writing. I think you have created a beautiful way to display them.
Mary,
Your chalkboard artwork is wonderful and perfect to go with your repurposed board for your cards.

I love chalkboard paint! You can use the decor over and over and change it up for the next holiday. I really like how the Christmas cards look displayed with your homemade ornaments, very festive. I need you to come over and decorate my chalkboard! I think it still displays February of last year! UG! Help!
What a cute idea, Mary! Isn’t it a shame how folks don’t send Christmas cards anymore … I use to love receiving them … they put a warm touch to the holiday xo
This is very nice Mary! I love the way the black background make the ornaments pop!
