Flashcard Decor Display Ideas

Last month when I created the free printable alphabet cards, a couple of readers asked about ways for displaying them.

I have since then, added this picture below in my original post, of V’s old nursery (please excuse my less than stellar photog skills – this was the clearest pic I could uncover :)

I wanted to display the Alphabet Cards without the tackiness of a tack (pun intended!) and I wasn’t about to buy 26 frames!!!

So, enter this idea into the ol’ noggin.

How we made it: We used 2 strips of chair molding and attached them to the wall horizontally. The width between the strips matched the exact height of the cards. They didn’t wrap around the room entirely, I was able to have two displays on the two facing walls, by splitting the alphabet in half. The cards were attached with damage-free adhesive strips. I completed the look by adding little bows randomly, to make it a little more girly in a very neutral nursery :)

I also came across this today, as another alternative for your flashcard display from Young House Love.

It’s a beautiful wall shelf they built. They originally used it to display postcards, and use it currently to display their daughter’s flashcards!

And, then (remember my ever-churning-mind?), well it made me think of these shelves I have in my garage already from Ikea (of course I have them in my garage – I’m a DIY hoarder – HA!)

Similar idea, huh? See, although I’m crafty, I don’t really touch the building & wooden construction stuff – I leave that for the hubs.

So, this is a PERFECT alternative for a ready-made solution – no cutting wood required (well, unless you want too?!) – YAY!
