DIY-Christmas-Card-Display2

Each year I try to come up with a new DIY Christmas Card Display. This year I wanted to make something that could be used for other occasions. I also made it so I could use it for food photography. I took a few different tutorials I found online and combined them to make this.

DIY Christmas Card Display

Materials Needed:
  • Wood Glue
  • Unfinished Wood Wall Panel
  • Sample Paint -Brown & Another Color
  • Water
  • Twine
  • Clothespins
  • Hot Glue
Directions:
  • First get your 8 ft long boards cut at Lowes. They will do it right there at the store for you in the package. I did 2.5 feet, 2.5 feet, and 3 feet. I used the 3 foot one for my Card Display.
  • These board have grooves. Put a little wood glue in the grooves and press together.
  • Let this dry overnight.
  • Take half of your brown paint and mix with water. You will want about a 50/50 ratio.
  • Brush on this brown paint mixture all over your board. Then wipe down with a cloth.
  • Let that dry for 10-15 minutes. I left one of my boards this way. I plan to paint the other with a very light coat of white paint.
  • For my Card Display I used a green and brushed it all over the brown. Then I took another cloth and wiped it down.
  • Let this dry over night.
  • Wrap around the twine and hot glue to the back to hold in place. I used little mini clothespins.
  • I took another piece of twine and attached to the top with a lot of hot glue to hang it on my wall.

Here is our card that I ordered from Pear Tree Greetings. It is actually a magnet. I love how it turned out.

    You are so right, that picture is even better! I didn't mean to sound like a family card wouldn't be great. I just thought that the picture you took of the boys was fantastic! Love this board! It looks so great. If I had more time I would be doing it but I already have so many unfinished projects to get done before Christmas. I'm gonna pin so I can plan for it next year. I did do the bird ornaments you posted and took them to a gift exchange along with a little bead and wire nest. Everyone was shocked I had only done them all the day before! Thanks!
    • Sarah Halstead says

      December 15, 2014 at 9:21 am

      Oh you are fine Ruth. I didn't take offense to it. :) I know I have so much to get done! Oh I would love to see the nest. Did you blog about it?
      • Ruth says

        December 27, 2014 at 12:48 am

        Yes, I did blog about it, although it's just a picture buried about in the middle of this catch-up post: http://daretobeused.blogspot.com/2014/12/december-happenins-so-far.html

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
