Craft Ideas For Old Christmas Cards
Don't you just love Christmas cards? Most people love to display them during the holiday and then keep them in a storage box for future viewing. We have enjoyed making various crafts from these old Christmas cards and perhaps your family will love making these Christmas card crafts too.
Christmas Card Wreath
Step #1 - You will need a large piece of cardboard. Draw a circle the size you wish the wreath to be. Now cut out the circle and draw another circle in the middle so that you leave at least 6" all around the outside of the circle.
Step #2 - You will need all those old Christmas cards you have stashed away in the attic, or under your bed or perhaps in the basement.
Step #3 - Kids love to go through these old Christmas cards picking out their favories to use in this craft.
Step #4 - Line up the cards on the wreath so they encircle the wreath side by side. You can overlap the cards for a great affect.
Step #5 - Now glue the card backs to the wreath where you want them until the entire wreath is covered with Christmas cards.
Step #6 - Attach a holiday bow and you have a fantastic wreath for your home.
