Took this photo with my tablet - not my best work, but you get the idea...
The steps are easy and kids love the project: making next years gift tags from this year's Christmas cards.
1. Using a paper cutter or just scissors, cut off the sentiment side of the cards. Trim rectangular to your liking. Sometimes you can get two or three tags from one card!
2. Angle cut one side of the upper card corner, then flip the cut piece to the other side and use it as a quick guide to cut relatively even corners on both sides of your new gift tag.
3. Punch a hole & add curling ribbon so that, next Christmas (only 11 months away!) you are good to go with colorful, gorgeous gift tags!
Believe me when I share that matching your tag to your wrapping paper does not matter at all with these babies - the tags are all big and gorgeous. Every year people comment on them! SO... what are you waiting for? Don't throw away your cards from friends and family, OR throw them into an abyss of a stockpile. For what? Put them to USE. : )
Reduce, reUSE, recycle - beautifully!
Genius! I love the idea. So easy and so practical!
