Two Wrongs Make a Holiday Right?

Who says that two wrongs don't make a right???

Years ago, Mr. Spice picked out some awesome fabric from the Crate and Barrel Outlet for curtains in our old office. Well, they turned out rather pathetic. I quickly put up my favorite Ikea Shears and tried to forget about them.

About a year later, I wanted to create a framed magnet board. I bought two magnet boards, deconstructed them, and quickly found out that magnets- even the super magnetic ones- don't work through a layer of glass and paper. Who knew? So for two years, I have had two left over non-magnet boards in our closet.

Well, I got in my head this year that I could combine these two failed DIY projects and create one super cool Holiday* Decor Project. Since we are finally in the grown-up stage in life of sending and receiving holiday cards, I thought it was high time we had a way to display those cards.

So I placed some batting on the 'non-magnet' boards:

Took a panel of the failed curtains, cut them to size, and stapled them to the non-magnet board. Added some festive $1 ribbon from JoAnn's with a glue gun:

And wowza, I created two cute-enough Holiday card displays.

While I say Holiday- I might just leave these up year round to display cards, invites, announcements and what nots- what do you think?

How do you display your holiday cards?
