Thank you for sharing my content!

Looking for ideas for ways to display Christmas cards? You will love these Christmas card holders that are easy and fun to make and can totally be created on a budget.

Todays post is all about displaying Christmas cards in your home in a DIY fashion with materials you already own or can get cheaply. I am sharing Christmas card holders in different styles like scandinavian Farmhouse and rustic and natural.

And if you do not have Christmas cards to display? These Christmas card hanging ideas also work very well for hanging Christmas pictures.

This super easy Christmas card holder idea combines a simple Christmas sign with ribbons to hang cards. It is incredibly easy to make and it does not only give you a place to hang Christmas cards but it also creates fun little Christmas wall decor.

Making a Holiday Card Display From Repurposed Wood

 I used part of a leftover floor board cut to size, painted it white, and stencilled it with one of the many awesome Christmas stencils from longtime blogging friend Donna, well known for Funky Junk Interiors.

If you already have a cute Christmas sign hanging around this is even more easy. Simply glue or staple lines of ribbon to the back and hang your Christmas cards with pins or tiny clothes pins.

 It doesn’t get much easier then this Christmas card display idea. I love the light and airy look with just a touch of rustic and repurposed Christmas flair.

Can’t wait for some Christmas cards to come in so I can display them on this DIY Christmas card holder.

A Rustic Tree Card Holder

 Speaking of rustic…

If you want an even more natural look, that is basically free to make with natural materials then you’ll love this Christmas card hanging idea made from real branches.

How to Make a Christmas Card Display Tree – The Steps

1. Go on a walking trip in the woods and search for a nice, chunky, thick branch that is somewhat straight.
2. Drag it home with you and let it dry
3. Do some gardening and prune a brush that has nice straight branches. Save some of those branches from the shredder
4. Cut the branches to size
5. Lay them down over your stem and eyeball their spacing.
6. Hammer a nail in them to attach them to the branch stem, leaving you some wiggling room
7. Tie string  at the joints to hide the nail and keep your branches horizontal
8. Drill a pilot hole in the center of the bottom of your stem
9. Screw on a piece of wood or an old wooden tray to form the base
10. Decorate
11. Stand back and admire your handy work (or in my case take pictures and show you)

See only ten steps and none of them are difficult. The addition of the teeny, tiny lights was a lucky coincident. I was clearing up the mess of days of decorating and found these at the bottom of the pile. I had bought them at the dollar store weeks ago and forgot about them. It is a thin copper wire with the tiniest of LED lights attached.

There you have it a lovely rustic Christmas tree card holder made from branches from your yard or the local park. If you like working with natural materials for your Christmas crafts then check all the projects I have made crafting with twigs: DIY Twig Christmas Decorations.
