Christmas Ornaments Made From Recycled Greeting Cards

by Donna

This easy holiday ornament project is a great way to recycle, upcycle, or reuse your favorite seasonal greetings into decorations that you can enjoy for years to come (you can also use pages from magazines or catalogs and photos!).

One of the best things about the holiday season is receiving Christmas cards from loved ones near and far. So many of these greetings are so beautiful and creative that it's a shame to throw them away.

This project is also a fun holiday activity for children!

You can find more information and the instructions on my blog at http://hubpages.com/hub/DIY-Craft-How-to-Make-Christmas-Ornaments-from-Recycled-Greeting-Cards

I've included directions for making two types of holiday ornaments: a circular ornament and a pyramid. The materials list is the same for both types of ornaments.

If large enough, you could put a small toy or piece of candy inside, especially the round one.

  @Maxine Davidson-Tompkins Great idea, though they would have to cut open the ornament to release the hidden treat. That would be a great idea to use for an advent calendar. Thanks for the suggestion!
