apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Frame the letters of your son's name and just hang those one under the other? Of course, you'd have a lot left over but could be cute!

You could hang a "clothesline" made of jute, twine, etc. and then hang the cards from wooden clothespins

I was wondering the same thing.

Is there such thing as a double sided picture frame?

we have dr seuss cards that we clipped to a photo mobile..looks really cute!

I actually just got the same set of cards and I do plan to buy something like the Dignitet curtain wire from Ikea and just hanging them from that with some metal clips. We have a pretty narrow chunk of wall they're going to have to go on, so we're planning on doing four or five rows of the curtain wire. I'm not sure how this will look, but in my head it seems right! If it turns out that it looks awful, then we'll probably just spell her name with them on a shelf and use the rest for playtime or something!

I also have this set and I was thinking of trying to use the photo clip mobile, too. (I got the Charley Harper memory game as well, with small cardboard squares about 2" x 2". Kind of chunky for the mobile, so I might stack them varying 1, 2 or 3 deep and affix to a canvas.)

Another idea. . . stack/line them up on the back of a closet or bedroom door?

I would put a thin picture ledge (at CB2 or ikea) on the wall. That way you could lean them or turn them the other way as you wish. Then when that's too young for your child, you can put up whatever you want without more holes in the walls.

I had the same dilemma in my little girl's room. Because of the room's shape, lining the cards up in a single horizontal line wouldn't have worked. Our solution was to create a "grid" of ABC cards by suspending them on several vertical ribbons. Here's a picture of what it looks like: http://curran.withlime.com/albums/Amelias1stBirthday/IMG_1510.sized.jpg

Susietea: How did you get the pictures to stick to the ribbon? I like what you did.

I also have alphabet cards and was planning on framing them 5 or 6 at a time in long frames and staggering them horizontally along the walls -- that's what we did last time, at any rate.

I have the french alphabet appeared here a few days ago, and I wallpapered them along the wall as you can see here:

This might be what the person was trying to avoid, but we hung ours up as a border (using blue tack) and I think it looks pretty nice: http://flickr.com/photos/mollymolo2/sets/72157614003951465/

Hi Lacy_M: Sounds cool! I attached our ABC cards to the ribbon using 3 pieces of heavy duty packaging tape on the back of the card (across the ribbon). Then I had to use nails to hang each ribbon on the wall (they were quite heavy!).

I've been struggling with the same question. I'm tempted to buy a second set - I love the under-the-sea picture on the back of them, and I'd love to somehow make a floor mat by putting them under lucite or something - but it'd have to be non-scratch...any thoughts?
