Recycle last year's Christmas cards into a colorful and festive garland.
If you're not sure what to do with last year's batch of holiday cards, repurpose the greetings into a colorful garland to use to trim the Christmas tree, decorate the fireplace mantel, or hang from the dining room chandelier.
Use paper punches and scissors to cut geometric shapes from the holiday cards.
To make the little paper bows, cut a piece of card about 2 1/2″ square and score with the bone folder every 1/4″.
Accordion fold the paper along the scored lines and tie at the center into a bow.
Line up your shapes and bows on your work surface and use dabs of white glue to attach a piece of string onto the backs. Let dry and then hang.
