Yolanda from Australia explains how she displays her Christmas cards on garland she hangs around the room.

Materials Needed:

  • Garland
  • Poinsettias
  • 2 Large Bows
  • Painted Clothes Pins
  • Small Decorations (for clothes pins)
  • Hot Glue Gun and Sticks
Instructions:
"I had a hard time finding a place to display my Christmas card since our home is not a big one and I had other things on the coffee table and entertainment center. I wanted to make sure everyone else would enjoy them as much as I do. I came up with an idea of hanging a Christmas garland across the dinning room from one corner to the other side near the doorway. I attached it to the end of the curtain rod and than extended it to the end of the doorway. It was a plain green garland so I added some poinsettias and a bow. I used painted clothes pins and hot glued some decorations on each pin for a better view. At the end of the garland that was hanging, I added some white bows."
