Easy Christmas Card Display

This idea came from Caroline over at Oh Pickles and it's one of those simple ones that makes you want to hit yourself upside the head and go, "Why didn't I think of that!?"

Supplies needed:
nail
sturdy/wide ribbon
clothespins (I used mini ones)
possibly scrapbook paper and Mod Podge
If you make your own bow - pipe cleaners or whatever you use to make it

Basically, just tap a nail on the inside of your coat closet (or other closet). Tie your ribbon to the nail then string it up over the door so it hangs on the outside. If you wish to make a bow to add, go for it. Clip your cards to the ribbon as they arrive! You can also mod podge (or decoupage as you fancier crafters prefer to call it!) some scrapbook paper on the paper clips to make them look a bit fancier.

I love that you can use this idea year round just by changing up your ribbon. It seems like we have a card-giving holiday each season...so fun! You could also just clip paper crafts or artwork that your kids do for that particular season instead. What a fun way to dress up a door!

(Side note: My pictures were taken at the beginning of the Christmas season, so I had to hang some of our Christmas cards up for effect...it looks even better now that it is more covered!)
