Greeting Card Ornaments

How to Make Ornaments Using Greeting Cards

From , former About.com Guide

Recycle the greeting cards you have received! Make fun Christmas tree ornaments.

Materials:

  • Greeting Cards
  • Felt or Craft Foam
  • Ribbon
  • Glue

Instructions:
Cut 2 circles from the pictures of 2 greeting cards. The circles should be the same size. Trace around the bottom of a glass or other small, round object to help you cut your circles. The circles can be any size, but I prefer 2 inches.

Cut a circle out of the felt or craft foam about 1/2 to 1 inch wider than the greeting card circles. Cut a piece of ribbon about 6 inches long. Fold the ribbon over and glue the ends to the top side of the felt or craft foam circle to make the hanger for your ornament.

Glue the greeting card circles to each side of your felt or craft foam circle. Let the glue dry.

For an added touch, trace around the edge of the greeting card circle with glittery fabric paint or use glue and sprinkle glitter on it.
