Recycling Christmas Cards? Recycling used Christmas cards? Do you still have last years Xmas cards lying around collecting dust? Here are some easy ways to recycle your Christmas cards and turn them into great gift tags.
Recycling used Christmas cards makes fantastic Christmas tags, birthday tags, sympathy tags, baby tags and more. It's easy, fun and very inexpensive, actually they are free gift tags.
Recycling used Christmas cards makes fantastic gift tags.
From these cards below I will show you how to make the best gift tags that nobody has. How good is that?
We all use gift tags as part of a gift, whether
it's for gift baskets or other kinds of gifts, to write a message "seasons greeting" or a simple "to" and "from."
We normally throw our used Christmas cards when it's over, don't
we? Not any more. By recycling Christmas cards you can make them into
beautiful and free gift tags for your Christmas gift baskets or any kind of gift for the next time you give. These gift tags are so easy to make.
When making these fantastic gift tags for your homemade gift basket ideas, try using greeting cards with no writing on the back of the picture; this makes it a lot easier.
If it's a picture that you really like and want to use, that has
writing on the back, you can always cut some card-stock and glue it to the back of your cut out gift tag. A little more work but it's possible.
So recycling Christmas
cards brings them back to life by making some incredible gift tags for your next homemade gift basket ideas,
like the ones I made below from my used Christmas cards.
Here's how:
This first gift tag is made from the first card on the left (top
picture). It's so easy to do and it can't get
any easier.
This kitten gift tag would be purr-fect attached to a child's gift basket or someone who likes cats.
This second gift tag is made using the middle card (top picture). This gift tag is a little bigger than a normal sized tag and could be used instead of a Christmas card to write your seasons greeting on. This is how I did it:
These two festive gift tags are made from the first Christmas card (second picture). The snowman gift tag could be used for any age person.

size you wish.
