Recycled Christmas Cards

I keep our Christmas Cards for a long time. Ryan hates it. He tries to throw them away right after Christmas, I can’t do that. Most of you know how much Christmas cards cost, especially the photo cards! I think it is about mid February that I actually take them down. And after they are down, I still wont throw them away.

Aren’t you glad that your money was not wasted on me?!

There are so many cool things you can do with old Christmas cards. My favorite, and probably the easiest is to use them to make new cards. We just cut out all of the greetings and the pictures and glue them onto new cards. Voila! A creative new Christmas Card for your liking!

We actually used this idea in my Sunday School class this past Sunday. We gave the students a few options of things to write on the inside and let them run with the decorating. I think they turned out really cool.

Here are just a few examples of the cards we made…
