Just follow the steps below.

  1. Unspool the ribbon until you have about 2 feet in length and cut it. Make sure that you have enough ribbon to fit all of your cards. For a pretty touch, you can cut a nice design into the ribbon as well.
  2. Hang the ribbon. Using a piece of wall adhesive or double-sided tape go ahead and hang the ribbon where ever you desire. You can hang the pieces vertically or horizontally, but if you are hanging more than one make sure that you space them apart. Get creative in terms of where you decide to show off your holiday cards and hang the ribbon between windows, doorways, on your kitchen cabinets or behind dining room table chairs. Don’t be afraid to add in a few seasonal props and hang your ribbon between skis, on a sled or in an empty frame. Also take into account nearby decorations: you don’t want your ribbon to clash with wall art if you hang it above your mantel.
  3. Attach the cards to the ribbon. You have the option of using a variety of different tools to attach your cards. Utilize clothespins, binder clips, paper clips, or any type of push pin that will make it easy to move the greetings around and add more cards as you receive them. For a clean and polished look, hang your cards equal distance from each other. If you are going for a more relaxed feel, you can hang the cards as you please.

The best part about this Christmas card display idea is that you can use any colored ribbon, twine, burlap, lights or fabric and hang it in any way that you’d like. Your DIY Christmas card holder is all about customization. Get creative and hang the ribbon in a Christmas themed shaped like a star or Christmas tree. This display can make any blank space pop.

How To Display Christmas Cards: Shutters And Frames

Using old window shutters or empty frames to display your Christmas cards will give your home a rustic holiday feel. Not to mention, the slats in the shutters make for the perfect perch for your holiday greetings.

Rustic Christmas Card Holder:

When it comes to creating your rustic Christmas card holder, sand down the splinters and paint the piece any color you’d like or even leave it as is. Next, hang the shutter wherever you’d like and start adorning with your holiday greetings. Empty frames also make for a great Christmas greeting focal point. Use ribbon, twine or any string to hang between the two sides of an old picture frame. Make sure you leave some slack between both sides so the ribbon hangs nicely. Next, attach your Christmas greetings using clothespins or paper clips and finally, hang your frame for all to see.

Choose Your Peel and Stick Removable Wallpaper Design

When selecting the perfect peel and stick removable wallpaper, it’s essential to first consider the overall theme of the room you’re decorating. Drawing inspiration from your existing home decor can help guide your decision. Spoonflower offers a variety of themes and styles to perfectly match your personality and taste.

For those who love the outdoors, we offer a range of nature-inspired and animal print themes. Additionally, our boho wallpaper collection features celestial and tribal designs, perfect for creating a room that stands out with unique charm.

How to Apply Peel and Stick Removable Wallpaper

Once you’ve selected your favorite design, it’s time to install your self-adhesive wallpaper. Before you begin, ensure that nothing obstructs the area where you’ll be working, as you want to avoid any potential damage to the wallpaper during application. If you’re installing in a living room, for example, move any furniture and decor away from the wall. It’s also a good idea to have someone assist you, particularly if you’ll be using a ladder.

Measure your wall and the wallpaper accurately, and start by applying the wallpaper at the very top corner of the wall. Smooth it down using your hands and a squeegee to avoid any creases as you go. Continue this process until the entire surface is covered, then step back and admire your newly transformed space.

Bring Your Space Together With Personalized Home Decor

Once you put your furniture back in place, take this opportunity to match, or accentuate your wallpaper design with personalized home decor from Shutterfly. Choose from an array of custom wall art options, including photo tiles and canvas prints, to add a personal touch to your space. Whether it’s a snapshot from a memorable vacation or a cherished family photo, these elements can enhance the warmth and meaning of your room. Arrange your wall decor to complement your new wallpaper and showcase your interior decorating skills.

Custom teal and white wallpaper featuring personalized wall art and blanket

If you have a sofa or armchair in need of an update, consider Shutterfly’s custom throw pillows or fleece photo blankets. These items can capture and highlight the overall theme of your room. Personalization options don’t stop at wall art—monogram your pillows or choose colorful linens that brighten your space and harmonize with your new peel and stick wallpaper. Before you know it, you’ll have a space worthy of a showroom.

How to Remove Peel and Stick Wallpaper

When it’s time for a change, removing peel and stick wallpaper is as simple as applying it. Just prop up your ladder, ask for some assistance, and gently peel back a corner of the wallpaper. Slowly work your way across until it’s fully removed, revealing a blank wall ready for your next design adventure.

Elevate Your Space With Designs that Speak to You

Whenever you’re ready to give your home a fresh look, Spoonflower has you covered for all your decorating needs. Whether you’re searching for the best peel and stick wallpaper to brighten a room or personalized home decor to complete the look, our extensive catalog has something for everyone. Create a space filled with items that reflect your personality and style—we’re here to help you bring that vision to life.

Finding Your Perfect Canvas Size

Whether you’re shopping for artwork or creating something yourself, picking the right canvas size is critical for your one of a kind pieces. We outlined some popular choices above, but the number of standard canvas sizes available to you are in the dozens.

All canvases follow an aspect ratio, which is determined by the relationship of each side of the canvas to the others. For example, a square image has an aspect ratio of 1:1 because all sides are equal. If the aspect ratio is 1:2, that means one side is two times larger than the other.

If you don’t have the math chops to quickly calculate your desired aspect ratio, here are some other common canvas sizes:

Finding Your Perfect Canvas Size
Ratios 1:1 1:2 2:3 3:4 4:5 5:6
Canvas Sizes All Squares 10”x20”
12”x24”
20”x30”
24”x36”
9”x12”
12”x16”
8”x10”
16”x20”
8”x10”
20”x24”

Figuring out this aspect ratio is important not just so the canvas fits on your wall, but also to set the stage for your artwork. If you’ve ever seen a photo that seems too large or too small for the frame, you know that the size of a canvas can greatly impact the composition.

If you’re still unsure what canvas will work best for your photo or painting, you can quickly measure out some ratios with these few steps:

Step 1) Measure the current size of your artwork.

Step 2) Measure a ratio within that artwork’s size.

Step 3) Using cardboard or strips of paper, outline the ratio over the image.

Step 4) Adjust the position of your picture within the outline to see different ways to view it.

For example, if your picture is a standard 5"x7" photograph and you’d like to see how it would look as a square, simply overlay a 5"x5" outline cut out of cardboard. By moving the picture around, you can see how the focal point changes. You can now even increase the size within that ratio to see how an image looks blown up. For instance, taking that same 5"x5" image, it’ll have the same focal point at 10"x10" or 20"x20".

Why Canvas Prints?

Canvas prints offer a timeless and elegant way to showcase your favorite memories and artwork. Unlike traditional framed photos, canvas prints provide a sleek, frameless look that seamlessly blends with any decor style. The high-quality canvas material enhances the vibrancy and depth of your images, giving them a professional, gallery-worthy appearance.

With Shutterfly, you can easily customize the best canvas prints to fit any space, whether you are looking for a small accent piece or a large statement artwork. Plus, our durable, fade-resistant materials ensure that your canvas prints will stay beautiful for years to come, preserving your cherished moments in stunning detail. Whether you are decorating your home, creating a personalized gift, or capturing a special occasion, canvas prints are a versatile and stylish choice that brings your photos to life.
