DIY Christmas Card Display

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.

    I should also do a similar display board for the cards. My fridge door is full of cards already.

    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

21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. He 21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. Hers should arrive in a week or two. 

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.

14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for 14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for a 3rd opinion next week at an office that offers vision therapy. I am going to see if they think therapy and/or glasses would help. I’m hoping that it will be an option since she is able to control it when we get her to focus. We will see. 

Thanks for all the advice and sharing your experiences. I know every child and diagnosis is different but it is nice to hear what others have done.
