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!

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
