If you're anything like me, you hate throwing out cards of any kind. It took me up until this year to throw out "new home" cards I got when I moved to my apartment five years ago. I'm part pack rack and part sentimental. You never know a rainy day you may pull those cards out to re-read them ... hmmm probably not right?
Well, for Christmas at least you can keep those cards. At least I am! I LOVE everything Christmas and especially all the cards I receive in the mail.
With just a few simple tools, you can handcraft your very own Christmas Garland!
Here's what you need:
*Christmas Cards
*A Star Cookie Cutter
*Exacto Knife
*Needle with a large eye
*Yarn
Instructions:
1 - Using the star cutter, outline the area of the card you want to keep, cut around the star.
2 - Once all pieces are assembled, thread yarn in the needle. Keep about 10 inches of thread lose at the end.
3 - Poke holes through each star cut out (make sure card faces are all facing the same direction!) and thread each star.
4 - Once all are on the yarn, pull out the yarn as long as you want your garland to be. Space each star accordingly.
5 - Tie a knot at the end & beginning to prevent the first and last card from sliding .
6 - Loop the end & beginning so you can easily attach it to branches or a hook.
7 - Enjoy your garland and all the cards you received through the years! You can easily tag on more cards after each season.
