xmas cards

[4getmenot]

Any ideas how I can display my cards without having to stick thread up with pins or tape? dont want cards on window sills either

The only problem with that one, 4get, is that the cards overlap each other so closely in the holder, you wouldn't be able to see them. I like to see my cards.

I only display family card in the living room. All the others I put up in the hall and stairs I use sellotape doubled over so it it sticky on both sides and use that to attach the cards to the stair rails and doors in the hall - it can look quite nice as I tend to group them according to their size and shape. Double sided tape could be used but it mighn't be so easy to remove from the stairs and doors after Christmas

No problem 4getmenot - been doing it for a few years now. The small cards you can staple at the centre top and bottom but larger cards need to be stapled a bit nearer the spine/fold of the card. Just a bit of trial and error the first time but it works and is cheap and easy to do.

and you could still use my little pegs with this over the door method!

I'm with BD been doing it for ages looks really effective and reasonably cheap to do

I stick mine onto sticky side of parcel tape. First pin the end of roll to top of wall letting it unroll ,sticky side out, and then just stick same sized cards onto it slightly overlapping until you get to where you want the end to finish ie. behind sofa or on skirting board etc. Cut off tape leaving a bit extra to fold back onto itself. Doing this you only need one pin at the top. yOu can do as many drops along the wall as you like and they really cheer up a blank wall

Hi - I have red ribbons about half an inch wide hanging down the wall about 6 inches apart. Then I staple the cards on the inside (so you can't see them) to the ribbon at an angle. I have about 8 ribbons and they are on a white painted wall. I've been doing this for years and it is so quick to do and tidy. Hope that's helpful.

Happy Christmas and a prospersous 2012.
