Recycle the greeting cards you have received! Make a unique placemat.

Materials:

• Large Sheet of Construction Paper
• Used Greeting Cards
• Glue
• Clear Contact Paper or Laminate

Instructions:
Cut out the picture or scene on the front of several greeting cards. You can also cut out specific shapes such as all cicles, stars, etc. Arrange your cut-outs on the paper in whatever arrangement you want, and glue them into place. Allow the glue to dry.

Cover both sides of your placemat with clear contact paper, or laminate it. Trim around your placemat and you are all done!

Related Idea from Erma in FL: Instead of paper she uses paper bags covered by one side with the greeting cards and the other side with holiday wrapping paper! After covering with clear contact paper, add a bow or two!
