Don’t throw out those beautiful holiday cards you received! Recycle them into something useful.
You Will Need
- Christmas cards
- Scissors or a paper cutter
- Glue, regular and decoupage
- Cardboard
- Ribbon or string
- Potpourri
Step 1: Use them as postcards
Cut off any picture side that doesn’t have writing on the back, and save them to send next year as Christmas postcards.
Step 2: Cut into gift tags
Cut them up into gift tags. This is an easy craft that kids enjoy.
Step 3: Create napkin rings
Create cute napkin rings just by cutting the cards into strips, rolling them up, and taping or gluing them.
Step 4: Construct holiday coasters
Cut pieces of cardboard and Christmas card covers into matching shapes for coasters and glue them together. Then varnish with a decoupage glue, which can be found in craft stores.
Step 5: Devise a sign
Fashion a Merry Christmas or Season’s Greetings sign by cutting each card into a separate letter that spells out the message. Affix your message to a door or window, or hang them from ribbon.
If you’re giving books as holiday gifts, cut a colorful card into strips and tuck one in each as a bookmark.
Step 6: Make a sachet
Make a sachet simply by gluing the bottom and sides of a holiday card, inserting some potpourri, punching two holes in the top edges, and tying with ribbon. Hang it on your Christmas tree or over a doorknob.
Twenty-eight percent of people buy holiday cards but never get around to sending them.
