Christmas Card Display

I always struggle year after year with how to display our Christmas cards that family and friends send us each year. Our house does not have a lot of table-like display room, mainly because I just do not like clutter and prefer the clean line look. Last year I did a lower scale version of this display but wanted to spice it up a bit.


First I spray painted standard clothes-pins black. You could use any color you wanted. I used black beacause the papers that i was using all had black in it, the ribbon I had on hand was also black and white and I already had black spray paint in the garage left over form another project.
BONUS!

 Next I cut all my paper to size so it would fit on top of the clothespins

Mod Podge a small amoutn onto the clothes pin. Place the paper where you want it and smooth down the edges with your finger. Let it dry and add buttons on the end you pinch to open the pin with a hot glue gun.

Hang the finished products on a ribbon. YES - this is a 2010 christmas card from my friend in BC. I wanted to make sure that it would hold properly and , VOILA, it worked! Now I am just patiently waiting for the cards to arrive in the mail....hint....hint.....

Bring on the cards, photos and Christmas letters everyone!!!
