This is my blank fireplace mantel… Well be pairing a new DIY each week with one that weve shared on the blog in the past.

Our first project for this years mantle is ahandy DIY Christmas greeting card display.

We love getting Christmas cards each year, especially our friends photos of their growing kids.

Its so great to see how they change from year-to-year!

Paint the frame to a colour of your choice.

Turn the frame over and measure and mark where the strips of ribbon will go.

Mark a matching set of lines on the opposite edge of the frame.

Cut the ribbon into four strips each about 1.25x the width of the frame.

Secure in place with two staples.
