Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display

December 8, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events The house is trimmed, and gift buying is almost done, now all that’s left to do is to write some thoughtful holiday cards. As we head into the second week of December you may already be receiving holiday cards, and if you’re anything like me, every year the one part of decorating I struggle with is where to put all those beautiful and thoughtful cards. I don’t typically like those store bought pieces, which never seem to hold all the cards. I’ve been hanging them around the garland draped on the entryway of the dining room, but it become too busy and too away from the simple beauty of the Christmas garland. Since this year I’ve been taking a minimalist approach to decorating I wanted to create something that held all my cards and was pretty, without taking too much space. 

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events Cue this DIY hanging display of fresh eucalyptus that is a modern and naturally fragrant way to display your holiday cards. Best of all, it is so simple and inexpensive to make – all you need is fresh greenery, wire and a dowel or long branch you can probably find in your backyard. Even better, it won’t take up any space in your home when you put away all your decorations!

So here’s how to make this festive display…

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events You’ll Need

 

  • Fresh Eucalyptus {I used both the Silver Dollar and Baby Blue varieties}
  • Wooden Dowel {or you can use a branch}
  • Floral Wire
  • Mini Clothespins 
  • Ribbon or Twine

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events Trim the eucalyptus stems into small stems about 6 inches long. {If you have nice thin or straight eucalyptus stems, you can skip this step.}

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events With the floral wire, wrap the smaller branches together to create 5 long and tapered eucalyptus stems, each measuring about 36 inches long.

Tie your twine, or ribbon tightly on one end of the dowel, or branch. Tie onto the other end of the dowel, with enough length to hang wherever you’d like. 

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events Carefully attach the long strands of eucalyptus onto the branch using floral wire about 4 inches apart.

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events I love how winter greenery dries just as beautiful as when it is fresh, especially silver dollar eucalyptus. My only tip is to not hang this on a wall where there is heavy walking traffic, although it dries beautifully, dried eucalyptus leaves can easily fall off it they’re handled too much. 

Finally attach all your lovely holiday cards to the eucalyptus strands using clothespins as you receive them.

Handmade Holiday : DIY Eucalyptus Garland Holiday Card Display | Dreamery Events How pretty and festive does this display look! I can’t wait until it’s all filled with heartwarming cards.

Happy holiday crafting!

I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early da I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early days w. remnants of the previous month still lingering…
the fragrant & gorgeous Jacaranda trees lighting up cobblestone alleys lined w. pastel colored buildings, becoming more vibrant as Summer’s heat begins to near….
Walking along the Rio Tejo feeling so close to the sea but not quite there & the streets not yet crowded w. vacationers basking in the city’s delight … walking around Lisboa is certainly a creative treat!! I’d love to be able to squeeze in a little summer travel; change of scenery is always such an inspiration, especially when life seems a bit crazy these days. 

Any fun summer travels planned? Hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of summer🌼
“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the w “Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air “ — Ralph Waldo Emerson … hello summer🌻

how fleeting you have been sweet, darling June… how fleeting you have been
sweet, darling June…

it seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, I don’t want the simple treasures of this month to go by so quickly but it’s like I haven’t slowed down enough to catch my breath between events & to do’s — not since my birthday, these flowers & a cake I enjoyed making too much to photograph. They weren’t for my birthday, but for someone else’s, but it really was the joy of creating this arrangement however way the color yellow called to me, foraging for delicate peonies, garden roses & stems that would make these uniquely special🌿

Not the most picturesque photo of these beautiful florals (you can swipe for those), but I’m quite enamored w. this shot … perhaps it’s that gentle reminder to slow down & take note of the in-between…
