A cute and simple way to recycle Christmas cards into ornaments

March 16, 2014 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

A couple weeks ago I got a card in the mail.

It was from someone I had sent a Christmas card to this year.

I just thought what was inside the envelope was so cute, and I thought I’d share it.

It’s a handmade ornament.

Super simple.

On one side is a recycled card with the year the card was sent on it.

On the other side?

The picture from the Christmas card I sent out this year.

How cute is that?

Two cards glued together with a hole punched in them and a little bit of ribbon.

Nothing fancy, but I know the kids will love hanging it on the tree next year and remembering the Christmas card picture from the year before.

If only I had thought of this this winter…it would have been a great snow day activity.

I will definitely be saving all my cards next year so that I can do this with the kids and send them to my friends.

Thanks to Beth for the great idea!
