Christmas is right around the corner, and I will admit I hadn’t done much decorating until recently! However, I decided it was time to get everything up. Since we’ve rearranged our furniture to make room for our new china cabinet I now have a large blank wall that was begging for some decoration. That combined with the holiday cards that were piling up in a stack on our table I decided to create a Christmas banner that would not only bring a lot of Christmas cheer to the wall, but would also act as a way to display our holiday cards.
To create this display you need:
- Twine
- 5 Different Fabrics – 1 Foot Each
- Mini Clothesline Pins
- Thumbtacks
- Hole punch
- Scissors
- Merry Christmas Banner Flags
- Cardstock
- Holiday Cards
I purchased my supplies and cut the fabric into 1 inch strips. I then began the long, but easy process of tying the fabric onto the twine. The nice thing about fabric banners is they have a shabby chic look to them so they don’t need to be perfect. Once my fabric banner was finished I printed out my Merry Christmas banner flags on cardstock and used a hole punch on each corner. I stung the flags on the twine and hung it in front of the fabric banner. (I actually think I could have used more fabric on my banner to make it longer. I do have extra left so I may add a few to each end. I used tacks to secure the twine to the wall, but you can easily use hooks too.
Once the banner is hung you can stop there. Or you can add another length of twine. This will be used to display your Christmas and Holiday cards! I loved how this turned out! I look forward to using it for years to come. If you are looking for another way to display your Christmas Cards, check out our tutorial on an easy DIY display/memory board.

Great Job!
You did such an amazing job on that banner and I love how you paired it with the holiday cards! It really is beautiful!
It’s so pretty! I love what you’ve done.
Many people use banners to decorate their wall during festivals however it is a great idea it completely gives the festive mood. However wall banners or festive banners should be prepared by keeping the room in mind. The size and color should match with the room’s texture.
