Instead of putting your Christmas cards away where no one can see them, display them in creative ways around your house. The Christmas cards that you receive from your friends and family make wonderful decorations to your home. Why not take advantage of the beautiful Christmas cards that you receive and put them on display to liven up your home for Christmas. Here is how you can display your Christmas cards in your house.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Tape your Christmas cards to the balusters of your staircase. This is a great idea if your staircase is in the front of your home, where your guests will see the cards when they come in.

  2. Step 2

    Place your Christmas cards in a big wooden sleigh on the floor, or in a basket on a table in your entryway. Make sure that the Christmas cards are in a spot where family and guests can look at them. Rearrange the Christmas cards so that there is a new card on top every day.

  3. Step 3

    If you hang Christmas stockings up in your home, you can tuck some of the best Christmas cards into the top of the stockings, so that they peek out the top of the stockings.

  4. Step 4

    If you have a bay window in your home, place some of your favorite Christmas cards on the bay window ledge. Have the Christmas cards facing towards the room so that you can see them from inside the home.

  5. Step 5

    Tape or glue your Christmas cards to a long piece of Christmas ribbon with them cascading down the ribbon. Hang the ribbon with the Christmas cards attached from one of your walls in your home.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be creative when displaying your Christmas cards. It's better to have them displayed in your home then just sitting on a table taking up space.
