Great Way to Display Christmas Cards & Family Pictures
Hi and Happy Wednesday. We are 7 days away from Christmas. Are you ready for it?? Really are any of us?? I don’t know anyone that has told me they are all done shopping and wrapping and ready. I know I’m not…lol. Here is a great way to display your Christmas Cards that’s super easy and festive. I love receiving Christmas Cards and also love sending them too. We always do a Family Picture for our Christmas Card and I love that nowadays most of the cards we receive are family pictures. So the days of just putting them on the desk or in a basket are over for me. I love to display them and enjoy them as well as share them with our friends and family that come over to our home.
I grabbed some red velvet ribbon that I had in my stash and a handful of clothespins. I cut the tails of the ribbon and pinned three lengths over my door. Then I grabbed my red and white craft paint so I could paint some cute stripes on my clothespins. I used some Scotch blue masking tape and cut it in half to and then laid them across on a diagonal.
After I painted the red stripes, two coats, then I painted the white stripes. I’m loving the stripes on the clothespins. I used them the other day when I made my JOY wreath too.
I need to paint a few more clothespins so I have them ready for the next batch of cards too. Just and easy way to hang cards with striped clothespins. Hope all your holiday shopping, baking or whatever preparation you are doing is going well. Thank you so much for stopping by, Lisa

I am a bit confused. You "pinned" the ribbon over the door. I am quite sure I wouldn't be able to push a pin into my solid wood door.
