Default 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
mrsl

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?

Default christmas cards

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.

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.

The Special Needs Centre where I work accept old cards of any sort. We use them to make 'new' cards and sell them at our Centre to generate funds for our craft classes throughout the year. 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.
