And yes we put our pet gerbils on our first Christmas card…don’t worry about it. 😆🤭 A new favorite mantle idea that costs almost nothing. I used $1.25 ribbon from Dollar Tree, punched a small hole in the corner of each Christmas card, and tied them onto a simple garland I already had. That’s it. And somehow… it might be my favorite holiday DIY this year. It instantly makes your garland look fuller, more personal, and so cozy. Use whatever you have: • old family Christmas cards • Santa photos • kids’ holiday artwork • or even the new cards that come in throughout December I love being able to see all 14 years of our Christmas cards in one place. It’s such an easy tradition to keep, and it makes the whole room feel extra magical without spending money.
