I titled this Christmas card hanger because it's that time of year when the cards start pouring in. I'm planning on hanging black and white photos on this after the holidays are over, so really, anything you would hang on your fridge you can hang on this. Adam and I took apart a pallet and individually dry painted them with white paint. Our walls are cream with white crown molding so I thought it would be a nice match.
After you have your slabs of wood, all you need is twine or a thick string of some sort, staple gun, wire and a hook. Adam added a hook to the wall and wire to the back of the wood to hang. (Just like you would hang a picture frame). Then, we stapled the twine to the back of the wood and wrapped it over and over again, stapling as we went to keep it super tight. Tighter the string the better, so the cards don't slip out. And 2 people for this really helped so one person could staple and one person could hold the twine tight. We put these on a bare wall in our hallway, next to our kitchen. Hope you like it too:)
Looks like a botched job but we couldn't get the large screws out! Still hangs straight though;)
I zig zagged a few times to fit the twine snug around the cards.
Here's the hook we used on the wall.
And there you have it.
