Reusing Christmas Card Series - Hanging Decoration

This is a great way to recycle old cards. You can create something to hang by your tree, above the stockings or anywhere else.

You will need:
- String or ribbon
- Scissors
- Christmas cards
- Scotch tape or tacks
- hole punch

Step 1) Cut out the pictures going on your hanging decoration.


Step 2) Hole punch each picture.


Step 3) Cut the string or ribbon you will be using. Any length will do.


Step 4) String the pictures through the ribbon or string.


Step 5) Use tacks or tape to hang up your creation.


You probably can't see the tacks but I used tacks and just placed it in front of the tree. I thought it turned out kind of nice for something that didn't even take 15 minutes to put together and none of it cost anything. The ribbon was from 2 years ago and the cards were old and I have lots of tacks, so free, quick and easy :)
