Here's a great idea my daughter bought home from school one day many years ago. It is a great way to be able to save some of those favorite Christmas cards from years gone by.
A very simple way to make a Card into an ornament, for hanging on garland or on your tree.
Like little presents!
Start by cutting the card in half.
Fold all the edges
and cut the corners. Fold the middle flap down to create a pocket
Fold the corners in to create your box end and fold the middle flap down over them.
You can tape it or glue it. I chose to staple. simple and quick.
Do this to both sides of your card, to create a little box.
and go ahead and fit the top onto the bottom!
You wind up with some cute stuff on the back of the box. Nice verses...Signatures from old friends...
And the finished product is a delight!
Just slip a ribbon thru the top flap.
Happy Holidays
Thank you for stopping by!
