Looking for a really pretty, creative way to display all your holiday cards? Check out this DIY Holiday Card Tree from Shutterfly's website. I LOVE that it's made using natural tree branches from your yard or neighborhood. Take the kiddos for a walk and let them help you pick out the branches. This is really easy to pull together:
- Grab your favorite vase (they used a sturdy, bulbous gold one with a sheer bow to add some sparkle!) and fill it with thin tree branches from your yard or the park. A holly branch will also work as the berries provide beautiful pops of color. (Note: If you use a lighter weight vase, fill it with sand to ground it.)
- Use twine, ribbon or clothes pins to attach the holiday cards to the branches. Alternate sizes and shapes to add visual interest. As more cards arrive, your tree blossoms!
- String yarn, ribbon or a popcorn garland around the tree to marry the branches and unify the overall look.
- Wrap a few boxes with butcher paper, twine or seasonal adornments (small glittered pinecones, paper stars, or wooden ornaments) and set the packages around the base of the vase.
- Once the tree is at capacity, display extra cards around it.
