With years of crafting holiday decor, I've found that Christmas cards and kids' handmade crafts rival store-bought ornaments in charm. Create this simple cork tree to showcase them beautifully on your wall.
Cork sheets or rolls are available at craft and office supply stores. Get enough for your desired tree size—scale it to fit your space perfectly.
Use a ruler to draw a simple triangle—or any tree silhouette—directly on the cork.
Cork cuts cleanly with scissors. Save scraps to form a sturdy tree trunk base.
Apply craft paint in your choice of green—or get creative with hot pink for a playful twist. Trees don't have to be traditional!
Build even coverage with multiple coats, allowing full drying time between each for a professional finish.
Secure it easily with small nails—no fancy tools required.
Top it off with a star or angel for that festive holiday vibe.
Repurpose Christmas costume jewelry snaps to attach cards securely. No snaps? Colored pins or glued jewelry pieces work great as custom pushpins.
Pin up greeting cards, family photos, and children's handmade decorations for a personalized gallery.
