12 new ways to recycle your Christmas cards!

Not to throw Christmas cards! There are many creative ways to use their Christmas cards, many of which you can do with their children. We have gathered some ideas below.

Christmas puzzle game: make a Christmas game puzzle. Pick up 10-20 cards and cut each into 3 or 4 pieces, using straight lines. They shuffle and present on a plate to serve as a dining or up - then put them back together again! Store cards in a box of shoes next time. This is fun in a family of quiet night at the start of the season as it helps to get around the spirit of Christmas!

Decorations for Christmas trees: cinnamon Make decorations for the Christmas tree. Adjust a small fragment of cinnamon sticks together with a very tied Ribbon in a bow (leave a loop to hang). Through a small piece of glue, attach a quite reduced form of a Christmas card with zig-zag in the center of the bow of Ribbon to complete the decoration. These cute and delicious smell too!

Aromatic envelopes: envelopes make scented to give as gifts or own home fragrance. Simply paste the underside of the paper together and then drop a small amount of pot pourri (or a ball of cotton, that has fallen a little essential oil) in the space. Use a drill to make two holes at the top, through which you can put a good tape before tying a bow. If you leave a loop of Ribbon, bags can be hung on the handles of doors, perch or coolers (heat will help to release the smell, but does not last longer) to create a cosy atmosphere.

Mobile Christmas or "string": cut the forms of the cards in matched pairs. Hearts work well, as a simple tree of Christmas, and Yes, circles and squares simple forms. Attack cards again and rolled, then open a hole in them and use to make a colorful and children or "chain" to decorate the next year. This could add each year. As a variation, it could be any shape with a solid piece of paper or card building and writing, the date and the name of the person who sent the card again.

Cut a beautiful form of each paper and stick it on the front of the bag (which covers all store tags if necessary). Sometimes a Christmas card will be many bag different decorations! Add a small snowflake on paper tape and adjust its present in tissue paper before you put it in the bag. This is seen with tassels of Tartan and brown paper bags.

Christmas cards: some Christmas miniature card designs can be cut and dubbed in miniature Christmas cards for children give the next year, or to decorate the doll's House.

Christmas screen saver: analysis of his letters favorite teams - and some of the Favorites for mail from inside of the card as well - and turn them into a paper Christmas wallpaper or screensaver with photos. Children love this and is a big reminder if you do each year.

Map of lacing: crop images in large capacity cards, punch holes around the edges with a drill, add a thread of shoe or color (with duct tape wrapped around the ends) and you have a card cordoned off cheap allegra for children. If they are particularly popular rolled for them could last longer.

Confetti at Christmas: make some confetti Christmas for use next year (they disperse in the table on Christmas Eve, or put a pinch of his greetings and gifts!) Use a plain of drill or a special Christmas eggnog, one (both great together aspect) and select the areas of color for each card to cut. Gold and silver seem very effective, especially mixed with red and green. It can also be used by small pieces of scrap paper packaging. You can keep the children occupied with this for hours!
