Used Christmas Cards
 

Looking for ideas to recycle these?

tags for next years presents
 

My 7 year old son and i spend a lovely afternoon every january cutting up the old cards to make interesting tags for next year. Some other ladies on here said they do the same in another discussion

They are also very good for playschools and kids groups for cutting up and sticking on paper. Hours of fun. They all love the glittery bits especially

I'm looking for any (nice) christmas cards. I'll be using them in a christmas card project for charity next year.

If you're willing to post a few to me, I'll make a donation to charity to cover postage cost. Just pm me for my address.

I will of course recycle properly the cards that are not used.

Thanks

Hi Naillij, this sounds like a great idea, do u attach some string so the tag can be turned over to see whats written on the other side or do u fold card in half and glue it on to the present?

I just attact one edge with sellotape, back and front, so it can be turned over and back and the message written on the inside side....does that make sense written down?!

I cut larger ones in circles to make lids for my small plum puddings which I make in 1lb. foil containers.
Smaller ones I use as shopping lists, so every one of my old cards are put to good use.

This is what I intend to do with mine this year

some samples below made from last years cards - just old cards cut up and stuck to new card balnks with a few bits and bobs added to enhance.

Hi Have you tried your local pre-school or primary school ?
Teachers may be glad to have the pictures for next Dec when doing Christmas Art. The blank backs make good card for writing on!

you can make little boxes and lids out of them origami style for small gifts next year or hang them as decorations on your xmas tree.

I make them and store self collected seeds in them for the next year sowing.

We'd be delighted to receive any Christmas, Birthday or any other occassion cards. Our address is BEAM Services, Barrow Haven, Regent Street, Bagenalstown, Co Carlow. If you live nearby feel free to pop in with them, we'd be delighted to see you. Thanks for reading.
