12 Days of Christmas || Displaying cards, art, and photographs

This year I have been so excited and have felt so grateful for all of the beautiful cards we have received from our friends and family. I knew I had to display them in a nice way instead of just on the table like I always seem to do.

I decided to use the white and silver string I have used for many projects this year for Christmas, GLITTER (Of course!) and some small clothes pins that I picked up from Michaels Arts and Crafts. ($2.99)

All I did for this project was take a very small brush, dip it into my rubber cement (I'm sure other glues will work great for this project as well) and paint it onto one side of the pin. While the glue is wet you'll want to dip it into a small pile of glitter. It was much easier to pour the glitter onto a piece of paper and dip it rather then try to sprinkle it on and make a huge mess. (Because we all know I do too much of that already) The color of glitter I chose was red and gold. I did a lot more of gold because I knew I could use those throughout the year with other photographs, because I enjoy gold all year long.

Once your glitter is dry, find a place to hang your string, and just pin your cards, pictures, or artwork up! I chose above our red because it was bare and really needed some love.

I hope I have been able to inspire you.
If you have a creative way of displaying Christmas cards I'd love to see!


Happy Holidays!
