Holiday Card Display

 

During the holiday season, every day's mail holds well wishes and greetings from friends and family, near and far.  Rather than dealing with the constant repositioning and mess that trying to balance the cards on a table may bring, why not incorporate your greetings into a decorative display.  Above, the cards are threaded onto ribbon and draped across a mantle.  A simple hole punch will give you a neat way of attaching the ribbon.  Just be sure to remove the paper cards before lighting a fire!
 

The display at right is easy to assemble and easy to maintain.  Wrap a large mirror or framed print that is already hanging in your home with a thick piece of red, white, or green fabric.  Coordinating ribbon in a shade lighter or darker can be fastened to the fabric in a criss-cross pattern with a few stitches or pins.  Slide the cards into the ribbon as you receive them and then wrap the whole fabric with cards intact as a keepsake of the year's good wishes.
