Greeting Card Lacing Toy Craft

Learn How to make a Lacing Toy Out of a Card

By , About.com Guide

Recycle the greeting cards you have received! Make this neat lacing card for younger kids.

Materials:

  • Used Greeting Cards
  • Yarn or Curling Ribbon
  • Tape

Instructions:
Cut out the picture or scene on the front of a greeting card. Use a hole puncher and punch holes around the outside of the picture you cut out. Cut a piece of yarn or ribbon about 2 feet long. Tape one end of the yarn or ribbon to the back of your picture. String the other end of the yarn or ribbon in and out of the holes you punched in the card. If you are using yarn, you might want to wrap the end with tape to make it easier to thread through the holes.
