I have been collecting used Christmas Cards and Greeting cards, and last year received over 3,000 of them to recycle. I cut the tops off of them, and send them to children’s hospices, kindergartens, and eldery homes. They are always happy to get them, and it’s a great project for me to start after the Holidays.

I use old Christmas cards to decorate our shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. It is much easier than wrapping the shoeboxes and the cildren love the project of helping. I also make new cards using the fronts of Christmas cards.

My mother in law cuts the front of the card off and uses them as gift tags. It recycles the card.

I use old Christmas cards to make tray favors
for Meals-on-Wheels. Sometimes backed with
cardstock and sometimes with added glitter.
A magnet on the back and they’re all ready!
