This Christmas card display decor idea is cheap and easy to DIY

This Christmas card display holder was made using scrap wood and other materials on-hand so it really didn’t cost me anything to make myself. I also used my Cricut Explore machine to cut the vinyl “Merry Mail” text and Star image.

The burlap fabric is from burlapfabric.com (Use code SMPRETTY5OFF to get $5 off your purchase!) and I created pockets on the board to hold holiday cards. I also found some mini Christmas clips at Target’s One Spot to clip cards to the fabric. It’s the most genius Christmas Card Display Holder ever!

How to make the DIY Christmas Card Display Holder:

Supplies:
  • Scrap wood board (any size)
  • Burlap Fabric (less than 1 yard, depending on the size of your board)
  • Staple Gun
  • Paint
  • Iron & Ironing Board
  • Stencil or Vinyl Letters (optional – I used my Cricut to make vinyl letters)
Directions:

1.Prep your board (sand, paint, etc) if necessary.

2. Measure the fabric against the board and cut to size. You will want at least 1-inch overhang on each side.

 

3. Cut the fabric into several strips (around 7 inches in height). My board was short in height so I only needed 4 strips. If you have a longer/narrow board, you will need more strips.

4. Iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles.

5. Iron a fold at the top and bottom of each strip of fabric.

6. Layer the fabric strips over the board to create “pockets” and attach to the back of the board using a staple gun from top to bottom.

7. Attach vinyl letters or stencil a message at the top (my board says “Merry Mail”)
