You know how you get so many adorable cards for Christmas and then you have to throw them out? Don’t do it… Make a Christmas ornament instead! It’s EASY and you can use the ornament as a gift for next year.
(I had to save this craft till after Christmas because it was a giftie for my mom and I didn’t want to ruin the surprise!)
This is what you need:
hole punch
glue stick
embellishments
and…
~Cut the picture and the cardstock into ovals (cardstock a bit bigger) and glue them together.
~Cut two circles out of the Christmas card (I used a can of peaches as a guide), and glue them together
~Add metal embellishments (hot glue gun)
~Punch holes to lace the ribbon through for the Christmas tree hanger and to connect the oval and circle together.
~Tie a loop of ribbon on the top to hang on the tree and a loop between the circle and oval to connect.
~DONE… you can do about a bazillion different things with this… so have fun.
You can also use the cards as gift tags on your gifties.
Here are two of the ones my mom did this year. My favorite is the vintage card below.
