I'm busily trying to decorate for the Holidays! I did this same thing last year to make the house festive and all it took was some wrapping paper and ribbon.
BEFORE:
This is a picture of how my fireplace mantel looks pretty much year-round.
AFTER:
So, I wrapped the frames in some coordinating wrapping paper and ribbon and viola - a Christmas display that was cheap, quick and easy to do!
I didn't wrap each frame completely, just mainly the front of the frame and left the back pretty much uncovered in order to save on paper. I also used strips of wrapping paper to make a "ribbon" for some of the frames. Basically I just folded strips of paper and taped them to the back of the frame. I hung a fake Christmas wreath to one of the frames because I wanted to add a little something differernt to the display.
Also, since I already had the frames laid out like this year-round, I didn't need to rearrange anything or make any new nail holes.
I guess the hardest part of this project was just choosing the wrapping paper, but luckily for me I have a 99 Cent store near me and now I have a ton of extra wrapping paper to wrap presents.
So after the Holidays, all I have to do is "unwrap" the frames for a quick and easy clean up!
